FAQs

❓ Tell me about Omkar Cloud.

We built Botasaurus, an open-source framework with 3.7K+ GitHub stars

All in structured JSON. Ready to use in your app.

❓ How accurate is the data?

Data is pulled from Yelp in real time. Every API call fetches live data — not cached or stale results.

Ratings, hours, photos, and contact info reflect what's on Yelp right now.

❓ How do I get a business_id to call the Details endpoint?

Hit the Search Local Businesses endpoint first. Every business in the response has a business_id field (e.g. computer-concepts-bothell) — pass that straight into the Details endpoint.

If you already have a Yelp business URL like https://www.yelp.com/biz/computer-concepts-bothell, the last path segment is the business_id.

❓ How does pagination work?

Yelp returns 10 businesses per page. Pagination is offset-based, not page-based.

result_offset=0 returns businesses 1–10 (the default).
result_offset=10 returns businesses 11–20.
result_offset=20 returns businesses 21–30.

The response includes next and previous fields with ready-to-call URLs, so you don't have to compute offsets yourself.

❓ Can I sort the results?

Yes. Pass sort_order with one of three values:

best_match — Yelp's default ranking.
top_rated — Highest star rating first.
most_reviewed — Largest review count first.

❓ Does the API return sponsored / ad businesses?

Yes — separately. Organic results go in businesses and Yelp's paid placements go in sponsored_businesses. You can render them, filter them out, or use them for ad-monitoring use cases.

❓ Does it work for restaurants, services, and everything else on Yelp?

Yes. The API works for every Yelp category — restaurants, cafés, plumbers, dentists, salons, gyms, mechanics, hotels, retail stores, and the rest. Whatever Yelp lists, you can pull.

❓ How much does it cost?

Free — $0 — 25 queries/month
Starter — $16 — 800 queries/month
Grow — $48 — 2,400 queries/month
Scale — $148 — 7,400 queries/month

Why we're affordable: Low overhead. We run lean and pass the savings to you.

Note: You get 25 free queries every month.

❓ How do I get a refund?

If the product doesn't meet your needs within 90 days, get a refund in 2 clicks.

Go to Transactions Page
Click "Request Refund"
Confirm by clicking Request Refund again. The amount will be refunded within 1-2 business days. We'll email you updates.

No emails. No explanations. Simple 2-click process.

❓ Is there a catch in refunds?

No catch.

It's a simple 2-click process, exactly as described above.
