Solution for Your Data Collection Needs
Scrape Yelp more easily
Although web scrapers may seem easy to implement, their under-the-hood fixes may actually take a lot of your time. This happens because Yelp (and other platforms) are constantly shifting their page structure, trying to render third-party scrapers obsolete. Ensuring that your scraper remains operational eats up your resources.
Infatica Scraper API solves this problem by offering you a data collection solution that is always up-to-date: Our programmers track any changes in Yelp’s site structure to avoid bugs and errors in your web scraping workflow.
Less web scraping roadblocks
The most valuable asset of Yelp is data – and the company understands the importance of preventing other companies from processing it. Like other major tech businesses, Yelp utilizes a number of anti-scraping systems (e.g. reCAPTCHA or Cloudflare) that detect bots and issue IP address bans to their owners.
This isn’t an issue for Infatica Scraper API: It uses Infatica’s dedicated proxy network, which uses residential and mobile IP addresses to avoid detection. This way, you can safely crawl business URLs and other data types without missing anything.
Made for home and power users
The web scraping market is rich with dozens of Yelp scraping solutions, ranging from simple browser extensions with point-and-click interface to complex web scraping libraries. Here’s the problem: Having so many options may confuse you – and choosing the right tool to scrape Yelp becomes harder.
Infatica Scraper API is designed to be a great fit for both home and power users: Combining ease-of-use and rich functionality, it offers a streamlined API and other pro features. Whether a small- or a large-scale project, give Infatica Scraper API a try!
What Customers Say about us
“Excellent service and customer care! For the first time, I bought a proxy on Infatica last year. I immediately bribed the responsiveness of the support, they helped me choose the tariff I needed for my purposes, and they actively answered all the questions later. There are no complaints about the proxies themselves; everything suits me)”

From the legal standpoint, extracting business data from Yelp and similar services is OK – provided that you do not simply copy and republish it to another website. In this case, you would be committing intellectual property theft – to avoid this, transform collected data in a meaningful way to generate a new way of using it (e.g. use natural language processing to perform sentiment analysis of reviews.)
