Has Anyone Successfully Built or Used a Yelp Scraper for Data Collection?

I’ve had some success with a yelp scraper using Puppeteer. It’s a Node.js library that lets you control a headless browser. Yelp’s anti-scraping is no joke, though.

I’d recommend using residential proxies and randomizing your user-agent strings. Also, don’t scrape too much at once—Yelp will block you in a heartbeat.

If you’re not into coding, maybe check out Scrapy Cloud. It’s a bit pricey, but it handles a lot of the heavy lifting for you.
