Hi @zohaib5424, if you just recently signed up for a developer account it is very likely that your plan doesn't allow access to the reviews endpoint. More details can be found here: https://docs.developer.yelp.com/page/start-your-free-trial.

It looks like Yelp does not want to get free advertising from third parties anymore. I will personally discourage the use of Yelp from now on the basis of:

  • asking to pay for the data when you get free promotion is quite greedt
  • the APIs do not have any webhooks or notifications for data changes so data needs to be checked multiple times maybe on a daily basis if you want to keep the data consistent
  • even with the request for payment you still limit access to 3 reviews :) WOW

With the above is very difficult to keep a dataset consistent and provide the free traffic
