Question

EDIT: I have code now using the Yelp API, but it only gives me three reviews per motel. How can I adjust my code to provide more reviews? I'm more interested in having a larger sample size of reviews than of motels.

Code below:

import requests
import json

api_key = 'my api key is here'
headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer %s' % api_key}

url = 'https://api.yelp.com/v3/businesses/search'
params = {'term':'motel','location':'my city is here'}

req = requests.get(url, params=params, headers=headers)

parsed = json.loads(req.text)

businesses = parsed["businesses"]

for business in businesses:
     print("Name:", business["name"])
     print("Rating:", business["rating"])
     print("Address:", " ".join(business["location"]["display_address"]))
     print("Phone:", business["phone"])
     print("\n")

id = business["id"]

url="https://api.yelp.com/v3/businesses/" + id + "/reviews"

req = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

parsed = json.loads(req.text)

reviews = parsed["reviews"]

print("--- Reviews ---")

for review in reviews:
    print("User:", review["user"]["name"], "Rating:", review["rating"], "Review:", review["text"], "\n")

I am very new to coding and am having trouble finding code that I can make work for my task at hand. I need to scrape Yelp reviews (or TripAdvisor if that is easier) from multiple different motels. I would be looking at a geographic area (my current city) and scraping the reviews from the motels in that area. Then, I need to search the reviews for certain key terms. Any recommendations?

I would suggest using the requests library in Python and sending API requests using Yelp's API!

If memory serves, you'll need to sign up to get an API key from Yelp. Whole process is rather quick.
