Tài liệu
name: yelp description: >- A Yelp API alternative on fetcher.sh — pay-per-call in USDC via x402, or prepaid credits with a Bearer key, no Yelp Fusion API app approval. Use when the user wants to search local businesses by query and location sorted by rating or review count, fetch a business's full details by ID or by its Yelp URL handle/slug, or fetch a business's reviews. Also covers local business discovery, restaurant/service research, review sentiment input, and competitor monitoring for local businesses without Yelp Fusion API's app-approval process and daily call caps. keywords:

Yelp API
Local business search, business details, and reviews as clean JSON — one plain HTTP GET per call, paid as you go. No Yelp Fusion API app approval, no daily call cap, no API key request form.
Base URL: https://yelp.fetcher.sh
Authentication
Two ways to pay, same data — full mechanics in the fetcher
skill:
# 1. Prepaid credits (recommended — get a key at https://fetcher.sh/topup
# or via POST /api/credits/topup, see the fetcher skill)
export FETCHER_API_KEY="bby_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
"https://yelp.fetcher.sh/api/search?query=ramen&location=San+Francisco"
# 2. x402 pay-per-call — omit the header; a GET with no payment returns 402
# with machine-readable payment requirements (USDC on Base, Polygon,
# Arbitrum, Monad, or Solana). @x402/fetch signs and retries automatically.
Every response is { "status": number, "message": string, "data": ... }; the
HTTP status mirrors status.
