## yelp/search

`GET /v1/yelp/search`

Businesses matching a query near a place, twenty per page, with rating, review count, price range, contact details and coordinates.

*Yelp business search*

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | yes | What to look for — e.g. `Cheese Curds` |
| `location` | yes | City, address or postcode — e.g. `Madison, WI` |
| `page` | no | Page number (20 per page) — e.g. `1` |
| `sort` | no | Result ordering — e.g. `recommended` |
| `dry_run` | no | Read a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. Accepted values: 1, 0, true, false. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable. — e.g. `1` |

### Useful optional inputs

- `sort`: Choose the documented source ordering before paging through results. Ordering keeps the normal endpoint price and does not guarantee exhaustive results.
- `dry_run`: Read a free estimate before fetching sources or scheduling paid work. Zero credits; cache status and availability are snapshots rather than guarantees.

**Cost:** 1 credit at list price per successful uncached response; variable-cost operations may quote or settle a different charge. Confirmed uncharged or refunded failures report zero. Pending reconciliation can report credits_used:null; retain request_id and the original idempotency key.
