What the Yelp Reviews API returns
Full text, with its language
comment carries the whole review. Yelp's first-party API returns three excerpts of about 160 characters.
Six sort orders
relevance_desc, date_desc, date_asc, rating_desc, rating_asc and elites_desc.
Rating and language filters
rating takes any combination of 1 through 5. hl picks the review language, and review_languages lists what is available with counts.
Reactions, photos and owner replies
feedback counts, reactions, review photos and owner_replies come with each review.
The business summary
search_information carries the business, its rating and its rating distribution.
