Yelp API
Yelp related businesses
Businesses the platform recommends alongside one business.
Endpoint
/v1/yelp/relatedlimited capacity1 creditLimited capacity: this operation currently relies on small shared monthly allowances. Availability can end before your account credits are used. Contact support before scheduling or bulk use. Allowances are shared across customers and related operations; this is not a per-account entitlement.
Parameters
Query parameters

Response fields and example
This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.

}The example is illustrative and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.
Schema basis: observed response shapes, not an exhaustive field specification. See schema coverage and validation limits.
Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.

The example is invented and illustrates types only; zero and empty values are not claims about a real result.
Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
