Screenshot Yelp with an API
Yelp challenges automated browsers before the page loads. Stealth mode returns the real business and review pages — one request, no browser to run.

What makes Yelp hard to capture
Yelp flags automated browsers and can serve a challenge instead of the business listing. Stealth mode runs on our own stealth engine, which combines a range of anti-detection tactics and automatically detects when a request is blocked and recovers.
- Bot detection
- Lazy loading
- Login prompts
- Heavy JavaScript
