Steps
Register a Yelp developer app to obtain a private API key for authenticating requests.
Call the Business Search endpoint, or the Business Details endpoint with a known business ID, under https://api.yelp.com/v3 to retrieve the listing's name, rating, price level, and review count.
Call the Business Reviews endpoint for the same business ID to pull a sample of recent reviews.
Track the rating and review-count values over time (e.g. weekly) to spot trends or a sudden drop worth investigating.
Cross-reference flagged reviews manually on Yelp's site, since the API only returns excerpts, not full review text.
Known gotchas
Businesses without any reviews are excluded from the Business Search results entirely.
The Reviews endpoint returns only a limited excerpt of each review's text, not the full review, by Yelp's API design.
