EveryData platform API
Yelp API
The Yelp catalog exposes 3 action-specific paths for Yelp business discovery, business profiles, ratings, and customer reviews, beginning with `search`, `profile`, `reviews` and preserving each object boundary.
The opening Yelp path, `search`, works with matching public results using `keyword`; `profile` instead works with the selected public record using `url`, preventing cross-action assumptions.

What does each Yelp action accept?
Each answer below pairs one callable action with its real inputs. Parameter meanings and allowed values are action-specific; a familiar name does not carry the same meaning across every platform.
Official sources are linked only to clarify the platform term beside them. They do not imply platform authorization or endorsement, and they do not add official-site features to the EveryInfra API contract.

Yelp API questions
What can I retrieve with the Yelp API?
Set platform to yelp. The current catalog lists search, details, and reviews. These action names identify different Yelp objects or views; they are not interchangeable search modes.
Which input starts a Yelp `search` request?
Defines local business or service search terms (e.g., coffee) for the Yelp search action. To avoid defaulting to New York, pair this parameter with an explicit location. Send it as keyword inside params.
Which fields can Yelp `search` return?
Its declared schema includes name, rating, rating_scale, and review_count. A declared field can still be absent from an individual source record, and every other action has its own field list.
Does every Yelp action return immediately?
No assumption is needed: this page labels each action's delivery mode. The current catalog contains sync delivery; poll a returned job ID only for an action labeled asynchronous.
