yelp
Introduction
This egg provides an interface to the public Yelp API. Yelp is social database of customer reviews of restaurants and businesses. It also provides generalized lookup by phone number, geocode, or address across the United States, Canada, and Great Britain. All six Yelp APIs are supported along with a simply query mechanism for traversing the structured JSON query result. A valid Yelp YWSID is required to use this API. There is no charge for a YWSID though queries are rate-limited (currently 1000 queries per day) and use is subject to the Yelp's API Terms of Use.

Requirements
None.
The chicken-install test case requires the test egg. The -test also requires that a valid YWSID exist in ../../ywsid above the egg's temporary install directory. When fetched with chicken-install -r, simply create a file named ywsid in the current directory with the following content:
(set-ywsid! "<your-personal-ywsid-goes-here>")
