Yelp Place reviews as public JSON
One GET request returns place reviews from Yelp as public JSON. $0.003 per call. Not an official platform API — no account and no OAuth. Pay with x402 or spend a prepaid balance with one API key.
Public review text as a GET. Not Yelp Fusion excerpts. Worked query: reviews for a public business `id`. See /blog/best-yelp-business-reviews-apis-2026.

Pay per call (x402)
Call it with no payment and the server answers 402 with machine-readable requirements on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad or Solana. Sign, retry, done — libraries like @x402/fetch do the loop for you.
# call without payment to inspect the 402 challenge
curl -i 'https://yelp.fetcher.sh/api/place/<id>/reviews'
# HTTP/1.1 402 Payment Required
# payment-required: <base64 payment requirements>Prepaid credits
Top up once and every call is a plain HTTP request against your balance — no signing, no chain round trip. Generate a key.
curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer bby_live_...' \

Every endpoint returns the same envelope, and the HTTP status mirrors the status field. The upstream payload arrives untouched in data.
