What does Yelp Business Info Scraper do?

This Actor takes one or more Yelp business URLs and returns a rich, structured record for each business. It's a fast, reliable API alternative for collecting Yelp business details at scale — perfect for market research, competitor analysis, lead generation and local business directories.

It reads the same data a real visitor sees on the page, including the deeper sections most scrapers miss: specialties, year established, popular items, menu link, community Q&A, videos, health inspection scores, and verified licenses.

How much does it cost?

This Actor runs on a flat monthly subscription — no per-result charges, so your cost stays predictable no matter how many businesses you scrape. On top of the subscription you only pay the standard Apify platform usage (compute) that your runs consume, which is kept low because this is a lightweight HTTP scraper rather than a heavy browser-based one. See the Pricing section on this page for the current rate.

Tips

• Bulk runs: pass many URLs at once in the Urls list — each becomes its own dataset record.
• Business vs brand URLs: standard business URLs (https://www.yelp.com/biz/<slug>) return the full per-location detail set. Brand pages (https://www.yelp.com/brands/<slug>) are multi-location aggregators — they return brand-level data (rating, reviews, categories, website, total number_of_locations and the list of member locations), while per-location fields like address, hours and photos are left empty because a brand has no single value for them.
• Empty fields are normal: availability of deeper fields (menu, health inspections, licenses, service areas) depends on the business type and what's published on Yelp.
• Scheduling & integrations: run this Actor on a schedule or connect it to your stack via the Apify API, webhooks and integrations.

FAQ and support

Is scraping Yelp legal? This Actor collects only publicly available information from Yelp business pages. You are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with applicable laws (including GDPR/CCPA) and Yelp's terms. Avoid collecting or misusing personal data.

Do I need a Yelp account or API key? No. Just provide the business URLs.

Why are some fields empty? Yelp shows different sections for different business types, and not every owner fills in every section. Fields that don't apply to a business are returned empty.

Something not working? Open an issue from the Actor's Issues tab and I'll take a look.
