How is possible to search?

[cendelinova]

Hello, I would like to ask what kind of local bussiness I can search it could be also pet shops? I need to get a list of pet shops, vets. I am not sure if I can do it with Yelp API.

Thanks for answers

@cendelinova : I'd probably start with a "Search" for categories=petstore in your area:

• https://www.yelp.com/developers/documentation/v3/business_search
• https://www.yelp.com/developers/documentation/v3/all_category_list

Something like

• https://api.yelp.com/v3/businesses/search?categories=petstore&location=boston

{
  "businesses": [
    {
      "name": "Fish & Bone",
      "categories": [
        {
          "alias": "petstore",
          "title": "Pet Stores"
        }
      ],
      "review_count": 73,
      "url": "https://www.yelp.com/biz/fish-and-bone-boston?adjust_creative=ssWONR4BhYiARowH3vsVEA&utm_campaign=yelp_api_v3&utm_medium=api_v3_business_search&utm_source=ssWONR4BhYiARowH3vsVEA",
...

You'll need to do some programming and set up authentication (basically an API password):

Good luck, and please file another issue if you get stuck!
