Yelp
Yelp connects people with great local businesses. The Yelp Fusion API gives developers programmatic access to Yelp's database of millions of local businesses, ratings, reviews, photos, events, and category taxonomy, plus the Yelp Fusion AI conversational search endpoint. Core public capabilities include business search and discovery, business details, review excerpts, autocomplete, phone and address matching, and local event search. Partner-tier APIs add reviews response, leads, advertising, reservations, waitlist, checkout, and reporting. Authentication uses a Yelp API key passed as a bearer token.
