Get related businesses and featured collections
View all Yelp Business, Reviews & Restaurant Data endpoints →Retrieve discovery context for a known Yelp business: businesses that Yelp recommends alongside it and Yelp collections that feature it, 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. No page, category, location, radius or ranking controls are documented for this operation. Documented response content has two concepts: recommended businesses and collections featuring the selected business. No response was observed for this operation, and the supplied HTTP 200 documentation example is an empty object ({}), so exact JSON field names, nesting, business attributes, collection metadata, counts and ordering are not verified. Use results as candidates for manual review, not an exhaustive competitor directory, proof of shared ownership or cuisine, or an objective quality ranking.

Query Result
Use Cases
- Seed a manually reviewed restaurant competitor shortlist from alongside-business recommendations, then verify cuisine, location and relevance separately.
- Help a city-guide editor discover collections featuring a selected venue without presenting collection membership as an objective quality score.
- Give a travel planner candidate alternatives to inspect when a chosen venue is unsuitable, checking availability and suitability independently.
- Explore how a known listing appears in curated collections for a qualitative brand-context review rather than claiming comprehensive market coverage.
Frequently asked questions
How do I identify the business for related recommendations?
Supply the required business parameter as a Yelp alias such as gary-danko-san-francisco, a 22-character Yelp business ID or a Yelp business URL. It anchors discovery to one known listing.
What kinds of related content are documented?
The documentation describes businesses Yelp recommends alongside the selected listing and Yelp collections that feature it. No response was observed, and the supplied HTTP 200 example is {}, so the exact field names, business attributes and collection metadata are not confirmed.
Are recommended businesses verified direct competitors?
No. An alongside-business recommendation is a discovery lead, not evidence of direct competition, shared cuisine or shared ownership. Check each candidate before adding it to a competitor set.
Can I paginate or filter the related businesses?
Only the business query parameter is documented here. No page, category, radius, location or sorting input is defined, and response totals or ordering have not been verified.
Does appearing in a collection establish quality or comprehensive coverage?
No. Collection membership provides curation context, not an objective quality ranking. Neither the collection content nor the recommendations establish a complete local business directory.
