| Business record One business read in full — 64 fields, including the phone, the business's own website unwrapped from Yelp's redirect, opening hours, health inspection scores, categories, price band, coordinates, amenities, review highlights, and Yelp's own counter of how many people looked the business up recently. Several of these are sold by no tier of Yelp's own API at any price — where Yelp charges $229 a month before a single call and returns no review text at all, a thousand businesses here is $5. Charged once per business actually read; a business that could not be read is never charged. | |
| Search result One business from a search results page — name, rating, review count, price band, categories, street and neighbourhood. It is the thin row Yelp puts on the results page, not the full record, and about twelve come from a single page load, which is why it costs a quarter of a business record. Use it when you only need to know who is there. It carries no phone, website, hours, state or postcode; those need the full record. | |
| Photo One photo from the business's gallery, with its caption, dimensions and every resolution Yelp serves it at. Yelp's own API returns no photos at its base tier, three at the middle tier and twelve at the top. Off unless you ask for them, and capped by the 'How many photos per business' setting, which is your ceiling on this charge. | |
