Connecting to Yelp

Yelp uses token authentiation to control access to data.

Using Token Authentication

To create a private API token for authentication, you must first create an App. To do so, navigate to https://www.yelp.com/developers/v3/manage_app. The private API token will be automatically generated once you create your app. You can set this token in the APIKey of the ProfileSettings property to authenticate.

Example connection string

Profile=C:\profiles\Yelp.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_api_key';

Connection Properties

The connection string properties are the various options that can be used to establish a connection. This section provides a complete list of the options you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
