Before you begin
You need a business' Yelp Business ID before you can pull its review data from Yelp Reviews.
You can find any Yelp Business ID by copying the text that comes after /biz in the URL for any business' Yelp page.
For example, if you opened the Yelp page for a business called Article Example Business, its URL would end with /biz/article-example-business. Here, the business's Yelp Business ID is article-example-business.
