Get business questions and top answers
View all Yelp Business, Reviews & Restaurant Data endpoints →Retrieve a page of Yelp community questions for one known business, with the top answer to each question as described in the endpoint documentation. The required business input accepts a Yelp business alias, a 22-character business ID or a Yelp business URL. The optional integer page defaults to 1, accepts values from 1 through 1000 and is documented as returning 10 questions per page. Documented response content consists of community questions and their top answers; question references from this endpoint are the starting point for Question Answers. No response was observed for this operation, and the supplied HTTP 200 documentation example is an empty object ({}). Exact JSON field names, nesting, total counts, pagination metadata and behavior for unanswered questions are therefore not verified. Treat community answers as attributed opinions to review, not as confirmed business policies or a complete answer history.

Query Result
Use Cases
- Collect a selected branch's question pages for an operator to identify recurring parking, service or visit-planning concerns.
- Create a triage queue that sends selected question references to Question Answers instead of treating each top answer as definitive.
- Keep community Q&A separate from verified business attributes and generated suggestions in an internal knowledge base.
- Prepare a branch-specific content review list so staff can check which visitor questions need clearer information in their own help materials.
Frequently asked questions
What can I supply in the business parameter?
Use a Yelp business alias such as gary-danko-san-francisco, a 22-character Yelp business ID or a Yelp business URL. The parameter is required and identifies one business.
How do I page through business questions?
Set page to an integer from 1 through 1000. The documented default is 1 and the page size is 10 questions. The allowed range does not mean every business has 1000 populated pages; total counts and end-of-list behavior are not verified.
Does this endpoint return every answer to each question?
No. It is documented to return the top answer alongside each question. For a deeper review of one question, pass its question reference to Question Answers and request the relevant answer pages.
Are the question response fields verified?
No response was observed for this endpoint, and the supplied HTTP 200 documentation example is {}. Questions and top answers are documented content, but exact keys, nesting and pagination metadata have not been confirmed.
Can I treat a top community answer as official business guidance?
No. A top answer is community content, not confirmation of a business policy. Review time-sensitive details such as parking or service arrangements before using them in customer-facing guidance.
