Search Yelp by keyword or category in a location — just like typing 'Pizza in San Francisco, CA' on the Yelp website. Returns a ranked list of businesses, each with its Yelp business ID, name, Yelp URL, star rating, review count, price level, categories and photo. Pass the business ID directly into business/reviews or business/details. Paginate with the offset parameter.

Working example
Parameters

What to search for — a keyword, dish, service or category (e.g. 'Pizza', 'coffee shop', 'plumber', 'Mexican').

Where to search. Use a full, exact location like the Yelp site expects — 'San Francisco, CA' or a neighborhood, not just 'San Francisco'.

How many businesses to return (1–40; one Yelp result page holds ~10, more spans pages). (1–40)

Pagination offset — 0 starts at the top result, 10 skips the first page, etc. (0–)
