Integrate the Yelp API with the Delay API

The Yelp API provides access to rich data on local businesses across various categories, including restaurants, bars, and service providers. Leveraging Yelp's API on Pipedream allows you to automate the retrieval of business information, ratings, and customer reviews, which can be instrumental in making data-driven decisions for market analysis, customer insights, or even personal use. By stitching the Yelp API into Pipedream workflows, you unlock potential for real-time monitoring, data collection, and cross-application synergy, enhancing your business intelligence and operational efficiency.

Overview of Delay#

The Delay API in Pipedream is a built-in function that allows you to pause a workflow for a specified amount of time. This can be incredibly useful when you need to stagger API calls to avoid rate limits, wait for an external process to complete, or simply introduce a delay between actions in a sequence. With precision up to milliseconds, the Delay API provides a simple yet powerful tool for managing timing in automation workflows.

export default defineComponent({
  async run({steps, $}) {
    // Specify the amount of time to delay your workflow in milliseconds
    return $.flow.delay(5000)
  },
