Overview

This node interacts with the Outscraper API to perform a search operation on Yelp data. It allows users to search for business URLs or links on Yelp based on a query string. The node supports limiting the number of results, making asynchronous requests, and specifying a webhook URL for callback once the task is finished. Additional options include selecting specific fields to return, adding data enrichments, and executing the request as a UI task. This node is useful for automating the retrieval of Yelp business information for data analysis, marketing research, or lead generation.

Use Case Examples

  1. Searching Yelp for businesses related to a specific keyword or category.
  2. Limiting the search results to a maximum number of entries for manageable data processing.
  3. Using asynchronous requests with a webhook to handle large or time-consuming searches without blocking workflow execution.
  4. Specifying additional fields and enrichments to get more detailed business information from Yelp.
