Yelp OAuth Integration

Connect Yelp to your application and send authenticated API requests through Pathfix.

Yelp is a platform for local business reviews. In Pathfix, Yelp uses client key based authorization rather than an OAuth app. Users connect their Yelp account through Pathfix, and your application sends Yelp API requests through the Pathfix passthrough API.

How Pathfix helps

01
User connections
Users connect their Yelp account to your app through the Pathfix Connect button.
02
Test before you ship
Use Test Connection in Pathfix to connect an account in the API Playground and run sample Yelp calls.
03
Authenticated API passthrough
Your application sends Yelp API requests through Pathfix, which adds the connected user’s credentials before passing them on to Yelp.

You own the Yelp account and credentials, and your code implements the API logic.
