Yelp’s API allows any developer to build rich user experiences by integrating Yelp’s local business information, reviews, and pictures into their web and mobile applications. We announced in January that we have ambitious plans to make it easier than ever for developers to integrate a local layer into their apps.
Today, we’re excited to present one of these efforts: a brand new API console that allows developers to explore the detail and depth of responses returned by the Yelp API, without having to write a single line of code.

API V1 End of Life
As we continue to invest in Version 2 of the API, we will be discontinuing the previously deprecated Version 1 of the API. All v1 API endpoints will be shut down on July 15, 2015. If you are currently using any v1 API endpoints you can find out how to migrate to v2 endpoints on the Yelp developer site.
