It provides methods to search for businesses, retrieve business details, read reviews, look up events, and access engagement metrics\u2014all through a simple, context-manager-friendly interface. The library uses requests.Session internally for connection pooling, which improves performance when making multiple API calls.\n\nThe package is designed to be robust to Yelp API changes and requires only requests as a runtime dependency. It supports Python 3.9 through 3.14 and has been actively maintained since 2013. You instantiate YelpAPI with your API key, optionally set a timeout, and then call methods like search_query(), business_query(), reviews_query(), or event_search_query() to retrieve data.","worth_installing":"Yes. yelpapi is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and a permissive license. Install it if you need to integrate Yelp business data into a Python application. The main prerequisite is obtaining a Yelp Fusion API key; the library itself is straightforward to use."},"id":"yelpapi","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/yelpapi","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/yelpapi.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/yelpapi/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"yelpapi","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"yelpapi is a pure Python implementation of the Yelp Fusion API."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":92674,"position":13434,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.6.0"}
