If you want to use this, the first thing you'll need to do is register as a developer with Yelp and get your API Key.

From there, it depends on what you are trying to do. If you just want to use the project in your code, it's just a NuGet package that you import just like any other dependency. Unfortunately it seems to only targets .NETPortable and the original author seems to not be updating it any more.

I've created my own fork that targets .NET Core 1.1 (hoping to add .NET Core 2.0 soon). I've also added additional functionality (like GraphQL), added an example project to show how you would use the code in your own project, and created a separate NuGet package for use. You can see more details about my fork here: https://github.com/Pinski/Yelp.Api.Web

If you are interested in pulling down the project and running it locally, then you'll just clone the repo and build it in Visual Studio.

Could you be a little more specific and maybe show some code? Not really sure what your problem is. What's the var you are talking about? What's empty? The example code in the Readme.md file shows you exactly how to use the NuGet package.

The fork I linked to has a full working example project that you can use as reference if you need further information:

Hi could you take a look at pull request from @dsarlo ? seems like it works well.

[dsarlo]

@shumach5 I have emailed him. Hopefully he takes a look at it soon, but I'm sure he is busy with other more important things.

[shumach5]

ah ok. sorry for the rush..

@gmisa @shumach5 @Pinski For now you guys can go to my github, clone the repo and build it with the fixes so that you can still develop your applications. Just build the dll and add it to your references in your project. When @madenwala finally checks the pull request I made in his repo, I'm sure he'll push it to nuget and github so your package will be updated in the long run. However, if he doesn't come back, I will personally upload my fork of this api onto nuget and will continuously refactor/iterate on it to keep it updated. Giving him some more time though.

How exactly do I run the code/project?

What i meant to say is how can i verify that it is working. I have an API key and inserted it into the var but when i run my project in debug mode the result is empty.

Thanks for the example, I am running through it. I get a HTTP Error 502.5 - Process Failure when I build and run the example. I switched the API key for mine and still getting a similar error.

The nuget package for AspNetCore is 1.1.2: Is it a netcoreapp1.1 would I need to upgrade it?

[dunsin99]

I migrated to 2.0 and it now works!
Thank you very much
