Yelp Reviews Scraper — One Business, Full Review History

Copying Yelp reviews by hand is a massive time-sink. Paste one business page or a business name and get the reviews in seconds.

Engineering Excellence & Reliability 🚀

• Zero-Friction Resolution: A Yelp business URL, or a plain name such as Tartine Bakery, San Francisco. One business, not a search results page.
• High-Velocity Automation: Stars, the full review text, the date, the author, photos, and the owner reply, delivered while you grab a coffee.
• Beyond the website limit: We bypass the website limitation and go beyond it. Duplicates are skipped.
• enterprise-Grade Resilience: Clean JSON you can export to CSV, Excel, or an API.
• Lightweight Pay-Per-Event: You pay for the reviews you actually save.

🛠️ How to Play

Input Parameters

Field	Type	Description
startUrl	String	(Required) One Yelp business page, or a business name. A name can include the city: Name, City or Name in City.
maxItems	Number	How many reviews do you actually need? (Default: 100)

Example 1: The "I already have the page" run

{
    "startUrl": "https://www.yelp.com/biz/tartine-bakery-san-francisco",
    "maxItems": 100
}

Example 2: The "I only know the name" run

{
    "startUrl": "Tartine Bakery, San Francisco",
    "maxItems": 100
}

🆓 Free tier limitations

We want you to see how this actor works before you commit. To keep things fair for everyone, the free tier usually includes these trial limits:

• Sample data: up to 5 reviews per run—enough to check data quality.
• Daily cap: 5 runs per calendar day (UTC).
• Between runs: at least 60 seconds before you can start another run.

Limits can change with platform load depending on system load and your intended scraping to prevent what we might interpret as free users abuse.

Upgrade when you're ready!

Use the free tier to decide if this actor fits your project. Paid Apify plans remove these wait times and caps so you can run at full volume—upgrade to a paid plan.

📦 What’s in the Box?

We deliver one clean JSON object per review. Full text, not a teaser.
