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

Hey! I’ve been down this road before. Yelp’s anti-scraping is super aggressive, so you gotta be careful. I used a combo of BeautifulSoup and Selenium for my yelp scraper, but it took a lot of trial and error.

Proxies are a must, and I’d recommend using a headless browser to mimic human behavior. Also, space out your requests—like, 10-15 seconds between each.

If you’re not into coding, maybe try something like DataMiner. It’s a Chrome extension that’s pretty easy to use.
