Question 1

How do I scrape Yelp data with MintAPI?

Accepted Answer

Open the Yelp scraper in the dashboard, add a search term and location or paste Yelp business URLs and IDs, choose review and menu options, then run the scraper. Completed runs include table rows, logs, raw JSON, and CSV exports.

Question 2

Can I use it as a Yelp review scraper?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Add Yelp business URLs or business IDs in the Reviews section, choose sorting and star-rating filters, set a review limit or scrape all available pages, and run the scraper.

Question 3

How do I scrape Yelp reviews without writing a scraper?

Accepted Answer

Use the Reviews tab in the dashboard. Paste one or more Yelp business URLs or IDs, choose the sort order and rating filter, set a review limit or enable all reviews, then export the saved run as JSON or CSV.

Question 4

Can I use MintAPI as a Yelp web scraper from Python?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The dashboard is the easiest way to test inputs, and the same Yelp endpoints can be called from Python with a normal HTTP client using your MintAPI API key.

Question 5

Can I scrape Yelp business details?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paste Yelp business URLs or 22-character business IDs to export detailed profile objects. Search results can also be returned in basic or advanced detail mode.

Question 6

Can I scrape Yelp menus and popular dishes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Add Yelp URLs or business IDs in the menu section and enable menus, popular dishes, or both. URLs are resolved to business IDs before menu and dish requests are made.

Question 7

Can I download Yelp scraper results as CSV?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each saved run can be downloaded as JSON or CSV. The dashboard table discovers columns from the returned rows and keeps nested objects inspectable in JSON.

Question 8

What is the difference between Yelp Search and Yelp Reviews?

Accepted Answer

Yelp Search finds businesses by search term and location. Yelp Reviews starts from a known business URL or ID and returns review pages for that business with sorting and rating filters.

Question 9

How is this billed?

Accepted Answer

The dashboard runs through MintAPI paid gateway endpoints using your selected API key. Search and URL lookup requests start at 15 credits, while business details, reviews, menus, and popular dishes use 20-credit requests.

Question 10

Is this an official Yelp export tool?

Accepted Answer

No. This is an independent scraper workflow built for public Yelp data through MintAPI. Use exported data responsibly and follow the rules that apply to your project and jurisdiction.
