How this service works
Returns the reviews of one Yelp business identified by its place_id from a search result: each review carries the rating, text, date, and reviewer details. Choose the language with hl, the order with sortby, keep only some star ratings with rating, and page with start and num (up to 49 per call). One call is one request.
Output
Returns an array of review objects each containing the star rating, full review text, date posted, and reviewer details (name, profile info). Also includes a pagination object with a next-page URL or token when more results exist, plus search_metadata (request ID, status, time taken) and the normalized search_parameters echo.
Example use cases
Competitor review analysis for a restaurant
“Get me the latest 49 Yelp reviews for the pizza place with place_id 'abc123XYZ', sorted by date newest first — I want to see what customers are saying recently.”
Filtering negative reviews for service recovery
“Fetch all 1-star and 2-star Yelp reviews for the hotel with place_id 'hotel456DEF' so I can identify recurring complaints and prioritize fixes.”
Multilingual review monitoring for an international brand
“Pull up to 49 Yelp reviews in French for the business with place_id 'paris789GHI' on yelp.fr, sorted by most relevant first.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://agents.litescrape.com/api/yelp/reviewsWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured Yelp review data (ratings, text, dates, reviewer info) for a known Yelp business identified by its place_id, especially when you need filtering by star rating, language, or sort order. Prefer this over manual scraping or browser automation when you need clean JSON output at low cost ($0.00015/call) without managing proxies. It is ideal for sentiment analysis pipelines, competitive intelligence, reputation monitoring, or any workflow that needs paginated Yelp reviews programmatically.
Side effects
- Missing place_id returns a 422 validation error

- Supplying not_recommended_start returns a 422 rejection
- Invalid place_id (non-existent business) may return an empty reviews array or an error
- Requesting start > 10000 exceeds the maximum offset and is rejected
- num > 49 exceeds the maximum per-call limit and is rejected
- Unsupported hl locale may return no results or an error from the upstream Yelp API
