Project 2 Option: Yelp Interface
To get more practice working with Internet data, this project involves creating an interface to interact with Yelp! A few notes:
- You will be using the API Tutor proxy server so that you don’t have to deal with authentication.
- You will allow your user to ask the API questions (via a web form), and then you will display the resulting data to the user as an HTML representation of the data.
Yelp Endpoint Documentation & Examples
- Documentation
- Actual Endpoint: https://api.yelp.com/v3/businesses/search
(won’t work unless you get an API key from Yelp and pass it as an HTTP header) - Proxy Server (with simplified data):
- Endpoint: https://www.apitutor.org/yelp/simple/v3/businesses/search (needs query parameters)
- Example: https://www.apitutor.org/yelp/simple/v3/businesses/search?location=Asheville,+NC&limit=5&term=pizza
Your Task
You will allow your user to input both a search term and a location (just like Spotify).
- Sample Query: https://www.apitutor.org/yelp/simple/v3/businesses/search?location=Asheville,%20NC&term=pizza&limit=15
You will then display the data (photo, name, address, rating, price) as an HTML representation (using template literals).
