When the developers replied to the July 19 email, Yelp sent a deck of pricing tiers with base pricing starting from $229 per month for a limit of 1,000 API calls per day.

I'm surprised that Yelp is still even a thing. It's been widely known for years that it's not an objective source for reviews.

I learned a lot today. Yelp still exists and it has an api.

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm trying to think what the API would even be for? I don't think I've ever seen Yelp extensions...or integrations...?

I can't think of anything either

Maybe stores can update their open hours? Or pull reviews to be reviewed internally?

They cold call businesses. The winning strategy is to just say you might be interested in 5 years. Then you only have to deal with it every 5 years.

Be need a OSM type replacement with honest reviews with some sort of verification. Maybe have it tied to an OSM account.
