What the Yelp scraper collects

Why developers choose MrScraper over the Yelp Fusion API
The official Yelp Fusion API imposes strict friction for developers and B2B lead generation teams: queries are capped at 500 calls per day on the free tier, and review endpoints truncate customer feedback to only three partial review excerpts of 160 characters. Furthermore, essential commercial fields like external website URLs and direct contact data are often restricted. MrScraper serves as a dedicated yelp review scraper and automated engine for yelp business data, executing high-throughput yelp data extraction across full review histories and localized commercial directories without truncated text or rate bottlenecks.

Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to scrape Yelp?
MrScraper only accesses publicly available business profiles, ratings, and customer reviews published openly on the web. Public web data extraction has been repeatedly upheld as lawful under US legal precedents (including *hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn*), provided you collect data without bypassing password-authenticated member areas. Review our guide on [is web scraping legal](https://mrscraper.com/blog/is-web-scraping-legal) for operational compliance.
Does Yelp have an official API, and why would I use a scraper instead?
Yes, Yelp provides the Yelp Fusion API, but it imposes severe constraints: free access is capped at 500 calls per day, search endpoints return a maximum of 1,000 results per query, and review data is limited to just 3 truncated snippets of 160 characters. Teams deploy MrScraper to **scrape Yelp** because it extracts full unedited review histories, complete business contact information, and operating hours across hundreds of thousands of listings without commercial approval hurdles.
Will I get blocked scraping Yelp?
Yelp uses aggressive anti-bot protection (including Cloudflare WAF, browser fingerprinting, and IP velocity tracking) that immediately issues HTTP 403 Forbidden responses or CAPTCHA challenges to datacenter IPs (AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean). MrScraper avoids blocks by routing every request through geotargeted rotating residential proxies with real browser TLS fingerprints and humanized navigation patterns.
What data can you extract from Yelp?
You can extract company names, primary categories, phone numbers, complete street addresses, postal codes, external website URLs, operating schedules, price ranges (`$–$$$$`), overall ratings, total review counts, reviewer names, individual star ratings, publication dates, full review text, verified customer badges, and image galleri
How much does it cost to scrape Yelp at scale?
Every account starts with [1,000 free Plan Tokens](https://app.mrscraper.com/auth/signup) every month with no credit card required. Paid plans start at $199/month for 200,000 Plan Tokens on Scraper Pro, with predictable overages at $0.001 per token and residential proxy bandwidth starting from $2.50/GB. See full details on our [pricing page](https://mrscraper.com/pricing).
Can I scrape Yelp without writing code?
Yes. You can paste any Yelp search URL or category link directly into the dashboard and use ScrapeGPT with natural language prompts or the visual point-and-click selector to define output fields. You can also schedule recurring daily or weekly monitoring jobs and export data to CSV, Excel, or JSON, or check our [developer documentation](https://docs.mrscraper.com/docs/getting-started/overview) for REST API endpoints.
Can I scrape Yelp reviews for sentiment analysis?
Yes. Unlike the official API which truncates reviews to 160 characters, MrScraper captures the entire text of every customer review along with timestamp, star score, user location, and review update history, making it ready for NLP pipelines, brand monitoring, and competitive sentiment modeling.
Does Yelp still offer a public API?
Yelp maintains the Yelp Fusion API, but requires formal developer registration, imposes a 500 daily request ceiling on standard keys, and restricts access to bulk lead generation and historical reviews. MrScraper provides an open alternative for structured local data collection at any scale. Explore more pre-built templates in the [marketplace hub](https://app.mrscraper.com/marketplace).
