What people build with the Yelp Reviews API

Reputation monitoring

Read every new review across your locations and catch the ones that need a reply.

Competitor review analysis

See what customers say about the places you compete with, in their own words.

Feed an agent

Give your agent a business's recent reviews before it writes a summary or a response.

Quote it, then run it

1. free quote: the exact price, nothing charged

curl -X POST https://apiforagents.dev/v1/yelp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AFA_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"op":"reviews","subjects":["katzs-delicatessen-new-york"],"limit":25,"estimateOnly":true}'

2. the same call, run

curl -X POST https://apiforagents.dev/v1/yelp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AFA_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"op":"reviews","subjects":["katzs-delicatessen-new-york"],"limit":25}'

Inputs

Everything you can send in one reviews call. Required inputs first.

Input	Type	What it does
subjects *	text list	yelp.com/biz/ URLs or their slugs. 1-10 items
limit	integer	1-100

What comes back

The fields of every row, always present. Nothing is guessed: a value that could not be measured is null, and the answer's coverage says why.

Show all 17 rows

Field	Type
reviewId	string
rating	number
reviewText	string
reviewDate	string
reviewUrl	string
language	string
translatedText	string
publicReply	string
photos	list of string
photoCaption	any
videos	list of string
totalReactions	integer
reactions	any
firstReviewer	boolean
reviewer	any
reviewerName	string
details	object

details is always the last field: everything else the source sent for that row, under our own field names. Its keys depend on the source that answered, so read them defensively; it is {} when there is nothing more.

A sample answer

Made-up names and values in the real field names, so you can see the shape before you spend anything.

reviewerName	rating	reviewText	reviewDate	totalReactions	firstReviewer
Jess T.	5	Best cortado in town and the staff remember your name.	2026-10-11	14	false
Mike R.	4	Great coffee, seating fills up fast.	2026-10-04	6	false

Pricing

Pay as you go, in US dollars, per record. No subscription, nothing expires, $5 first top-up, and every new agent starts with $0.10 free.

Request	Records	At the list price
One review	1	$0.000225
10 reviews	10	$0.0022
A full page	100	$0.022

These are per-record list prices. Some calls also carry a minimum, such as a page of search results, so a small request can cost more than the table shows. The quote ("estimateOnly": true) is free, gives the most your exact request can cost, and the charge then settles to what came back. Records that do not come back are refunded.

Try it without writing code

Open the Yelp Reviews API in the playgroundThe playground runs any endpoint by hand: pick a platform and what you want from it, fill a short form named in plain words (or press Use sample input), see the free quote on the Run button, run it, then read the answer as a table or JSON and download it as CSV or JSON. The same call is written out as cURL, Python and Node while you type.

Why this one, and not a scraper you run yourself

No login, no Yelp account, no cookies, no proxies, no browser to babysit.
When the site changes its pages, your request stays the same: keeping the reads working is our job, not yours.
A fetch that fails costs nothing: it is named in the answer with a reason, and the quote says the most a call can cost before it runs.

Use it from your tools

Questions people ask.

What does the Yelp Reviews API return?

One row per review: the reviewer's name, the rating, the review text, the date, total reactions, a first-reviewer flag, the owner's public reply, the review id and URL, and photos.

What do I pass in?

Up to ten yelp.com/biz/ URLs or their slugs, and a limit of 1 to 100.

How much does it cost?

$0.000225 per review at the list price. A small call can carry a minimum, so quote first with "estimateOnly": true, which is free and is the most the call can cost. You pay for what comes back.

Why people pick API for Agents

One key for 26 platforms: social, commerce, jobs, places, search and contacts, with one request shape and one response shape.
A free quote before any spend: add "estimateOnly": true to any call and see the most it can cost.
Pay per record in US dollars. No subscription, nothing expires, top-ups from $5.
$0.10 free to try, no card. An AI agent can sign itself up in one request; a person claims it later.
Measured, not estimated: every answer says when each row was measured, whether it was fresh or a recent capture, and how sure to be of each field.
Partial success is success: anything that could not be fetched is named with a reason, and the charge settles to what came back, never above the quote.
Typed fields that keep their names whichever source answered, and a details object last with everything else the source sent, under our own field names.
Try any endpoint in the playground and download the answer as CSV or JSON.
