Does Yelp "expose" business reviews via consumable feed?


Does Yelp expose reviews for a given business (via an RSS feed or some other format)? I’d love to pull this content into a “testimonials” area of a website I maintain for a local business.

Would love to have URL to user image, short lead-in to review, rating, date of review, and URL to full review.


Solution

  • From Nick Griffen, Yelp Partner Relations:

    The API provides some of those things (a few review excerpts, rating, date, means to link to full review): http://www.yelp.com/developers/getting_started/what_you_get

    ...generally we're protective of our content and I think the decision not to expose a stream of reviews via RSS is influenced by that protective stance.
