get https://api.yelp.com/v3/businesses/matches
This endpoint lets you match business data from other sources against businesses on Yelp, based on provided business information.
For example, if you know a business's exact address and name, and you want to find that business only on Yelp.
When should you use the Business Match endpoint?
We have several endpoints that will return information on Yelp businesses. You should pick the endpoint to use based on how specific your input information is.
- Business Match endpoint when you have precise info like name & address
- Business Search endpoint when you have general info on the biz like name & location but don't know the address
- Phone Search endpoint when you only have the phone number or less confident about other matching criteria
All of these endpoints return the same information about each business.
Note: at this time, the API does not return businesses without any reviews.
