Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

n8n-nodes-yelp-api

An n8n community node for Yelp: search businesses, get full business details, and get reviews as structured JSON. It is backed by John's Yelp Actors on Apify (Search, Business Details, Reviews) and bills per result, so there are no subscriptions and no minimums.

Installation · Credentials · Operations · Output · Example workflows · Pricing · Resources

What it does

One node, three operations:

  • Search Businesses — find businesses by term and location (one item per result)
  • Get Business Details — full details for a business by its Yelp place ID
  • Get Reviews — reviews for a business by its Yelp place ID (one item per review)

It also works as an AI Agent tool, so an agent can look up Yelp data on demand.

Installation

Follow the n8n community nodes installation guide:

  1. In n8n, open Settings > Community Nodes.
  2. Select Install.
  3. Enter n8n-nodes-yelp-api as the npm package name.
  4. Agree to the risks of using community nodes, then select Install.

After it installs, the Yelp node appears in the nodes panel.

n8n Cloud only allows verified community nodes. Until this node is verified, install it on a self-hosted n8n instance.

Credentials

You need a free Apify account and an API token.

  1. Sign in to the Apify Console.
  2. Open Settings > Integrations and copy your Personal API token.
  3. In n8n, create a new Apify API credential and paste the token.
  4. Use the credential's Test button to confirm it works.

The node also supports Apify OAuth2 if you prefer to connect that way.

Operations

Search Businesses

| Parameter | Description | | --- | --- | | Search Term | What to search for. Optional. | | Location | The location to search within. Required. | | Category Filter | Yelp category alias. Optional. | | Sort By | recommended, rating, review_count, etc. Optional. | | Maximum Pages | How many result pages to fetch. |

Get Business Details

| Parameter | Description | | --- | --- | | Place ID | The Yelp place ID. Required. | | Include Full Menu | Include the full menu in the result. |

Get Reviews

| Parameter | Description | | --- | --- | | Place ID | The Yelp place ID. Required. | | Sort By | yelp_sort, newest, highest_rated, etc. Optional. | | Minimum Rating | Only reviews at or above this rating. Optional. | | Maximum Pages | How many review pages to fetch. |

Every operation has an Output parameter: Simplified (default — a compact, AI-friendly object) or Raw (every field the API returns). Simplified is used automatically when the node runs as an AI Agent tool.

Output

  • Search Businesses → one item per business: title, categories, snippet, openState, link, reviewsLink, placeIds (Raw adds position, thumbnail, …).
  • Get Business Details → one item per place: name, rating, reviews, categories, address, country, placeIds (Raw adds images, hours, directions, menu, …).
  • Get Reviews → one item per review: user, rating, comment, date, position (Raw adds tags, photos, feedback, …).

Example workflows

1. Build a local business list

  1. Manual Trigger
  2. Yelp → Search Businesses: Location Austin, TX, Search Term coffee, Output Simplified.
  3. Google Sheets: append each title and placeIds.

2. Pull details and reviews for a business

  1. Yelp → Get Business Details with a Place ID.
  2. Yelp → Get Reviews with the same Place ID.
  3. Aggregate or AI node: summarize sentiment.

3. Let an AI Agent answer Yelp questions

  1. AI Agent node.
  2. Attach Yelp as a tool.
  3. Ask "Find top-rated tacos in Austin and summarize their reviews." The agent calls Search, then Reviews, in Simplified mode.

Pricing

This node calls John's Yelp Actors on Apify, billed pay-per-result, with no subscription and no minimums. Apify also includes a free monthly usage tier. See the Actor pages for current rates: Search · Business Details · Reviews.
