## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Yelp Scraper

Yelp Scraper by Omkar Cloud gets you 🎯 accurate, 🔍 detailed Yelp data.

Yelp uses DataDome bot protection to stop you from getting its data.

Yelp Scraper beats it, so you get the data, and can successfully complete your project.

**$1 per 1,000 businesses.** And with Apify's free plan you get $5 of credit every month, so your first **~5,000 businesses each month are free**.

This is an excellent Actor made by Omkar Cloud, which is Rated Excellent — [4.7 based on 30 reviews on Trustpilot](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/omkar.cloud).

👉 [**Try Yelp Scraper free**](https://apify.com/omkar-cloud/yelp-scraper) — your first ~5,000 businesses are Free.

### What can I get

- 🔎 **Every business Yelp shows for a search** — any query in any city, neighborhood or ZIP code, up to 240 per search, in Yelp's own order
- ⭐ **Rating, review count & price level** — plus categories, phone, website, full address, coordinates and a review snippet
- 🎛️ **Yelp's own filters** — sort by rating or review count, price levels ($ to $$$$) and features like open now, outdoor seating or delivery
- 🏪 **Full business profiles** — with the add-on: opening hours, 40+ attributes, amenities, rating breakdown, popular dishes, menu link and health inspections

### Why Yelp Scraper

Most other Yelp scrapers fail you in one of four ways:

- 🗄️ **Inaccurate, cached, stale data**
- 🧩 **Low-detail data** — a name and a rating, never the full picture
- 💸 **Pay more to get the same data**
- 🪦 **Works today, breaks next month** — nobody maintains it

Yelp Scraper is scraped live on every run, priced honestly, and actively maintained.

### FAQ

**How many businesses can one search return?** Up to 240, the same limit Yelp's website has (24 pages of 10). Split a big city into neighborhoods or ZIP codes to get more.

**What does a typical run cost?** 3 queries in 5 cities with 50 businesses each is 750 businesses: about $0.75, or about $2.25 with full details.

**Can I search without a keyword?** Yes. Leave the queries empty and set a category, e.g. `italian` or `Coffee & Tea`.

### Run It from Code

Grab your API token from [Integrations Settings here](https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations) and replace `<YOUR_API_TOKEN>` below.

**Python** (`pip install apify-client`)

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("omkar-cloud/yelp-scraper").call(run_input={
    "queries": ["pizza", "coffee"],
    "locations": ["San Francisco, CA"],
    "maxResultsPerSearch": 50,
})
for business in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(business["name"], business["rating"], business["review_count"], business["phone"])
```

**Node.js** (`npm install apify-client`)

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('omkar-cloud/yelp-scraper').call({
    queries: ['plumbers'],
    locations: ['10001'],
    scrapeFullDetails: true,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
