The Yelp scraper for local business leads
Kavex's Yelp scraper turns any category-and-city search into a clean spreadsheet of local businesses. Yelp is one of the densest directories of service businesses in the US — restaurants, contractors, salons, clinics — and almost every listing carries a phone number, a rating and a review count. You give a search term and a location, and Kavex returns every matching business with its rating, review volume, price range, categories, address and coordinates. It is built for agencies and sales teams that prospect local markets and want Yelp's coverage alongside Google Maps, without copying cards by hand.
Sign up to useWhat it does
Provide one or more search terms (for example plumbers or coffee shops) and a city or region. Kavex pulls every matching Yelp business through the official Yelp data API and returns its name, rating, review count, price range, category tags, phone number, full address and map coordinates. Results stream into your task as the scrape runs.
Use cases
- Local lead lists for agencies selling into one category in one city
- Market mapping — how many competitors a category has per metro
- Enriching a Google Maps pull with Yelp ratings and review volume
- Building outbound call lists for service businesses
Sample output
Each row is one business: name, rating, review_count, price, categories, phone, address, city, state, zip, latitude, longitude, yelp_url. Export the full set to CSV or pull it through the Kavex API.
How it works
Pick your search terms and location on the configure page, set how many results per search you want, and run. Kavex paginates Yelp for you. Add the Phone Validator add-on to format and classify the numbers before you export.
Frequently asked questions
Can I scrape Yelp for a whole city?
Yes — give a broad category and a city, and raise the results-per-search limit. Kavex paginates through the Yelp results for you, up to 1000 per search.
Does it return phone numbers?
Yes — almost every Yelp business listing carries a phone number, and it comes back in the phone column ready for outreach.
How fresh is the data?
Every scrape is live — you get each listing exactly as it appears on Yelp at run time, not a cached database.
Can I combine it with Google Maps results?
Yes. Many users run the same category through both the Yelp and Google Maps scrapers and merge the lists for wider coverage.
