Yelp reviews move with every release. Your parser shouldn't care.
- A crawler to build and keep running
- A feed Yelp's recommendation software thins out
- Offsets that shift as new reviews land
- Owner replies nested inside the review
- Star and language counts only on the page
One GET Request. That's the whole integration.
Start with just a query. Add more parameters when your use case needs them.

Now it's the part of the pipeline they don't think about
HasData delivers exactly what we need: speed and comprehensive search features. It's the fastest API we've used in this space. Plus, their customer support is fantastic.
We rely on HasData for search performance data and broader scraping needs. Their APIs deliver highly structured data that integrates directly into our platforms.
Great web scraping API which is incredibly easy to use. It requires minimal effort to get up and running, and the documentation is very clear and helpful.
I needed to scrape some information they didn't already support, and they wrote the code for me right away, which was super nice of them.
We were particularly impressed with how easily we could integrate HasData into our existing workflow.

Questions, answered
Per successful request. The number of reviews that come back does not change the price, and a failed request costs nothing.
Yes, a one-time trial of 100 scrapes with every field included. No credit card required.
Paid plans start at $49 per month billed monthly for 20,000 scrapes and scale to 10 million a month. The unit price drops with volume, from $2.45 down to $0.75 per 1,000 scrapes.
From the Yelp Search Scraper API. Search by keyword and location, and every business comes back with its placeId, ready to pass here. The id also sits in the Yelp URL after /biz/.
As many as the place has. The response returns the total and the offset for the next page, so you keep asking until it reports no next page.
Yes, with notRecommended set to true. Yelp's recommendation software keeps part of the feed out of the main list, and those reviews come back with isNotRecommended on them. They arrive without photos, reactions or permalinks, so the objects are thinner than the ones in the main feed.
Yes. Sort by date, rating, relevance, or by Yelp Elite reviewers first. Filter by star rating, by language, or search the review text with a keyword. One quirk to know: Yelp ignores the rating filter when a keyword is set, so a text search returns matching reviews of every rating.
Yes, when the business left one. The reply comes back on the review it answers, so you do not need a second pass to match them up.
Yes. Pass the domain, and the endpoint reads that country's site. All 41 Yelp domains are supported, from yelp.co.uk to yelp.co.jp.
No. Requests run on HasData's infrastructure, so there's nothing to provision or maintain. You're responsible for using the results in line with each target site's terms and applicable law.
