Yelp reviews API

Read and reply to Yelp reviews with the same API you use for every other platform. Full public reviews of your listings, not just the 3 excerpts Yelp’s public API returns, with the owner’s public reply.

Frequently asked questions

Can I reply to Yelp reviews through the API?

Read only: Yelp has no reply API for third parties. Every review includes a link to answer it on the platform, so the owner answers it in Yelp for Business.

How do my customers connect Yelp?

Add the business’s public Yelp page. No Yelp login is shared with Prisma.

What happens if I send a reply to a Yelp review?

No. Yelp doesn't let third parties publish replies through an API, so Prisma is read only there: POST /v1/reviews/{id}/reply returns 422 reply_not_supported. Every review includes url, a link to answer it in Yelp for Business.

Does Prisma need the Yelp login?

No. Prisma only needs the public listing URL and reads the public reviews of that listing. Only connect listings you own or manage.

Which plan includes it?

Every paid plan, from Beam (€49 a month for 10 locations). The free Spark plan covers the platforms with official reply APIs. Each listing or store counts as one location.
