Yelp or Google Places Integration

I am wanting to create an app that integrates into Yelp or Google Places. The idea is to allow the user to enter a location or pull the location from the device. Using the location, the app will call the Yelp or Places api to pull a list of specific businesses close by. The business names would be displayed as a list with each name as a link. When the link is clicked, the associated Yelp or Google places page would be displayed. I have researched the available plugins but cannot find one that can handle this. Has anyone done this before using BT? Any help is greatly appreciated!

hmm - you're right that no plugin currently does this. But, it is certainly possible with Buzztouch. If you know what you're doing, you could create a custom plugin to handle it (assuming you're a member), or you could modify an existing plugin. The "Blank Plugin" is perfect for such an occasion - it has no purpose other than for people to modify it into something else. If you don't have the technical ability to do this on your own, don't fret. Buzztouch still is a great place for you - there's several of us that do contract work to create custom plugins such as this. Find a plugin developer by looking at plugins on the market and send one a PM asking if they'd be willing to help and what it might cost you.
