Apify Actor that scrapes Yelp business details and reviews . No third-party scraping API needed.

What it does

For every Yelp business URL (or every business returned by a search), the actor pushes:

• _type: business — name, address, phone, hours, aggregate rating, review count, business ID.
• _type: review — review ID, author, rating, date, full text, plus author location/review-count and review photos.

Reviews are fetched directly from Yelp's GraphQL /gql/batch endpoint (the same one the page uses), which means full review text and metadata — no truncation, no scraping of card HTML.

Input

You must provide either startUrls or both searchTerm and searchLocation.
