Yelp Business Detail via Fusion API

Get full business details for any Yelp business — hours, photos, attributes, special hours, transactions, and more — via the official Yelp Fusion API. Bring your own free API key (5,000 calls/day at docs.developer.yelp.com).

Why this actor

Yelp Fusion's /businesses/{id} endpoint returns much richer data than the search endpoint:

• All photos (up to ~20) — not just the cover image
• Hours of operation — for every day of the week, plus is_open_now
• Special hours — holidays, closures, custom schedules
• Attributes — wheelchair_accessible, outdoor_seating, accepts_credit_cards, noise_level, parking, etc.
• Transactions — delivery, pickup, restaurant_reservation
• Messaging URL — direct link to message the business
• Cross streets — useful for navigation

Use this after yelp-fusion-search to enrich a list of business IDs.

FAQ

How do I get full Yelp business details for a list of businesses? Feed business IDs or aliases into this actor and it calls the Yelp Fusion /businesses/{id} endpoint for each one, returning hours, all photos, attributes, special hours, transactions, and the messaging URL in a clean dataset.

Do I need a Yelp Fusion API key? Yes — this actor uses the official Yelp Fusion API, so you bring your own free key (5,000 calls/day) from docs.developer.yelp.com. It is the supported, official way to get rich per-business data.

Why use this instead of calling the Yelp Fusion API directly? You skip writing and maintaining code: this actor handles pagination over your ID list, flattens the nested Fusion response into export-ready rows, and plugs straight into Apify Schedules and integrations — while still respecting the official 5,000-calls/day cap.

What's the alternative if I don't want a Yelp API key at all? Use the Yelp Scraper (No API Key), which reads Yelp pages directly without Fusion credentials. This Fusion-API actor is the better choice when you specifically want official photos, attributes, and structured hours.

How fresh is the business data? Every field — isOpenNow, hours, rating, review count, attributes — is fetched live from Yelp Fusion at run time, so each run reflects the current state of the listing. Add it to a Schedule to keep your records up to date.

Is it legal to collect this Yelp data? This actor uses Yelp's official API under your own key and terms of service, returning publicly available business information. You remain responsible for using the data in compliance with Yelp's terms and applicable laws.

Automate it

Add this actor to an Apify Schedule to refresh hours, photos, and attributes for your saved businesses on a recurring basis (e.g. daily open-now and rating checks). Connect runs via Apify integrations to Make, n8n, Zapier, Google Sheets, Slack, or a webhook/CRM so enriched detail records sync automatically into your systems.
