Yelp Rate Limits

Machine-readable rate limit definitions for the Yelp Fusion API. Captures the daily call cap, queries-per-second throttling, response signaling headers, and recovery semantics documented at docs.developer.yelp.com. Values reflect Yelp's published Places/Fusion rate limiting model.

Yelp Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Yelp on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, across the starter, all, premium, and enterprise tiers, measuring requests_per_day, requests_per_second, and requests_per_month.

Limit state is signalled in the limit, remaining, resourceLimit, and resourceRemaining response headers, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

This profile was written by API Evangelist and has not been verified against a page the provider published; treat every limit as unconfirmed until a dated transcription replaces it.

The profile also includes 4 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled, quotaExceeded, and serviceUnavailable.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, Quotas, Throttling, and Restaurant.

Policies

Requesting Higher Limits
Additional daily calls are granted based on actual product usage, typically after launch. Contact yelp-api@yelp.com with your Client ID, product details, and desired daily request volume.
Backoff Strategy
On a 429 response, clients should reduce request rate and implement exponential backoff with jitter, honoring Retry-After when present.
Daily Quota Reset
The daily call cap resets at midnight UTC. The current window expiry is reported as an ISO 8601 timestamp in the RateLimit-ResetTime header.
Per-Resource Limits
Some endpoints carry their own caps, signaled via the optional RateLimit-ResourceDailyLimit and RateLimit-ResourceRemaining headers.
