Yelp for Developers

Technical Overview

The Yelp v2.0 API enables access to more relevant search results that more closely match the results on Yelp. It uses a standard and secure authorization protocol (OAuth 1.0a, xAuth). Click on Authentication to get started.

Users of v2.0 will be able to:

  • Find up to the 40 best results for a geographically-oriented search
  • Sort results by the best match for the query, highest ratings, or distance
  • Limit results to those businesses offering a Yelp Deal, displaying information about the deal such as title, savings and purchase URL
  • Identify and display whether a business has been claimed on Yelp.com

You can find some basic examples at http://github.com/Yelp/yelp-api/tree/master/v2/
