I've spent hours now googling and searching for code that I can use to show business yelp reviews. I know it can be done, I've seen it on a mobile app before. I think maybe using a Yelp API might be the way to go but I have no clue on how to do this. Yelp support does not give an example of how to do this. Is there anyone that can help??? Theresa

Use the rss plug in too...... http://www.yelp.com/rss

@Sheri, I thought of using the rss plugin but it is only for ios and I need something for both ios and android. I've gone through the yelp api documentation...I'm just not sure where to begin with it or how to write the code. I'll start again fresh in the morning and maybe it will make sense. Thank you for all your help!

Could rssinclude work for your android?

@shenry Wow, I see you're in my neck of the woods! Let's keep in touch. The plugin states it's only for iOS and not for android. Do you know of another option? My client wants this app available for both iOS and Android. Theresa

I haven't done anything with android. But I have used RSSInclude. You can input a feed and style it, then copy the code into an html.doc screen and use in android. RssInclude membership is $50 a year. You can use if free, but I have a membership so not sure what features come with the free version. Nice to see another Southern Californian here. I used to live in Belmont Shore many years ago. I'm just south of Newport now.

Love the girl connections!!! Awesome!!!!! Thanks for the great hook up with rssinclude! shenry! I am wondering if rss feed through yahoo pipes and placed in opml document ....into HTML...several steps but it can be done.... But that could be placed in android format?

@sheri, yes! bunch of us female types at BT. I'm using yahoo pipes for RSS- Regex, to clean up some html characters that can come over garbled, Unique and Sort. What is an opml document?

http://reader.feedshow.com/goodies/opml/OPMLBuilder-create-opml-from-rss-list.php Markup Language....Used mainly with google reader. I used to mashup rss feeds for jobs and vpconverted to HTML documents

http://rxpublishing.com/apps/app/cna-ready/ CNA ready On my profile too :)

Thanks Sheri! this looks very useful.

Could you repost your itunes links? It's not connecting.

sorry about that :( because of the character after cna ready found in itunes

Would yelp.com/biz/biz_id do trick? Check-out the Gilbert Heritage app. Go into the Directory section to see how Yelp was integrated into the app using that URL method. https://itunes.apple.com/app/id627044389?mt=8 It was done in BuzzTouch by Alzooka https://www.buzztouch.com/Alzooka -- Niraj

@Niraj Shah, nice app. When Yelp is brought in using the URL method it brings in the whole business page. I'm wanting to only show the reviews. I know it can be done because before I found buzztouch I tried a wsywg app making program and it pulled in just the reviews. I just cant figure out how to do it. Have a great trip to St. Louis! Would love to hear about the BuzzCon. Theresa

Theresa, I've played a little with the Yelp API to give me info about business ratings, address and phone number. Yelp's examples are confusing, wish they gave users a very simple example. Anyway, I registered for API Keys and found the following site, which I used. He even has an example for iOS, I used the JavaScript approach. https://github.com/Yelp/yelp-api/blob/master/v2/js/business.html So, I created the below page based on the link above. Feel free to browse the code, you just need to register for your own API Keys via Yelp Developers site and replace the biz_id in the code. I left some comments in there. http://67.199.5.24/yelp/yelp-example.html Hope this helps!

@Alzooka I'll give this a try! I hope this will solve my problem, thank you for your help :) Theresa

@Alzooka, I actually came across this but when it said... // This example is a proof of concept, for how to use the Yelp v2 API with javascript. // You wouldn't actually want to expose your access token secret like this in a real application. And it didn't give an example of how to hide the access token secret. I didn't know what to do or if I should actually try it. Did you hide your token secret? Theresa

I didn't hide my keys. My requirements changed to just pointing them to the yelp website, which made my life easier. :-) I did a quick google search for "Hide API Keys Javascript" and Stackoverflow had this response: 1. Browser sends HTTP request to your server 2. Your server sends HTTP request to external REST API, with API key 3. External REST API sends response to your server 4. Your sever sends response to browser Sounds like you have to put a lock around your keys separately. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6552915/how-to-make-rest-calls-secure I'll try to look at this closer. There has to be a better example.

It seems the Stackoverflow approach will require server-based code such as PHP? -- Niraj
