Creating a datastream to collect data from Yelp Ads

The basics of creating a datastream to collect data from any data source are explained in our guide to Creating a datastream. This guide contains information about the specific steps to create a datastream to fetch data from Yelp Ads.

Authorization: Allow Adverity to access Yelp Ads

Before creating an authorization to give Adverity access to Yelp Ads, perform the following actions:

  1. Ask Yelp Ads Partner Support for your Reporting API username and password. For more information, see the Yelp Ads documentation.

To set up a new authorization to fetch data from Yelp Ads, follow these steps:

  1. In the Authorization step of the datastream wizard, click Access Yelp Ads using your credentials.

  2. Click Next.

  1. In Reporting API - Username, enter the username that Yelp Ads Partner Support gave you.

  2. In Reporting API - Password, enter the password that Yelp Ads Partner Support gave you.

  1. Click Authorize.

  1. If you choose Access using your credentials or Access using someone else's credentials, in Set up or edit Business IDs, you or the person granting access must choose one of the following options:

    • Choose Grant access to all items, including those created in the future to give Adverity Business IDs to access all existing items and all items created in the future.

    • Choose Select specific items to which you want to grant access to only give Adverity Business IDs to access the selected items. Adverity will not automatically have access to items created in the future. You will need to grant Adverity access to any items created in the future.

    If you use your credentials to grant Adverity access to Yelp Ads, all the items available to you using your credentials will be visible in the Authorizations page to all Adverity users with permission to edit this authorization.

    If someone else uses their credentials to grant Adverity access to Yelp Ads, the same applies to the items available using their credentials.

    This is important to consider if you do not want all Adverity users with permission to edit the authorization to be able to see the details of the authorization items. For more information about user permissions, see Managing user permissions.
