                    consumer_secret=MY_CONSUMER_SECRET,
                    access_token_key=MY_ACCESS_TOKEN,
                    access_token_secret=MY_ACCESS_SECRET)

Searching

search_results = yelp_api.Search(term="my search term", location="my location") # location and search term are required
for business in search_results.businesses:
