Category Search in Yelp is not Filtering properly in nodejs. I have given category as “Restaurants” but my o/p is : parks and Playgrounds

I have been trying to implement the business search in yelp fusion. But I couldn't get the results, I have given the category in order to get filtered code:

            function yelpSearchReuslt(latitude,longitude,radius,listOfResult){                 const searchRequest = {                     categories:"Restaurants",                     latitude:latitude,                     longitude:longitude,                     radius:radius                 };                 const client = yelp.client(API_KEY);                 client.search(searchRequest).then(response => {                     const firstResult = response.jsonBody.businesses;                  }) 

In the o/p I am getting categories like Playground and parks o/p:

{             "id": "U2lT4qo4R80vsYKUFaBoCA",             "alias": "lost-hills-wonderful-park-lost-hills",             "name": "Lost Hills Wonderful Park",             "image_url": "https://s3-media1.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/t5y8zHqDfx5mN2v7wtvUxw/o.jpg",             "is_closed": false,             "url": "https://www.yelp.com/biz/lost-hills-wonderful-park-lost-hills?adjust_creative=KOlGv8v3EO9ZpCUlYru9eg&utm_campaign=yelp_api_v3&utm_medium=api_v3_business_search&utm_source=KOlGv8v3EO9ZpCUlYru9eg",             "review_count": 10,             "categories": [                 {                     "alias": "playgrounds",                     "title": "Playgrounds"                 },                 {                     "alias": "parks",                     "title": "Parks"                 }             ],             "rating": 4.5,             "coordinates": {                 "latitude": 35.6164124330499,                 "longitude": -119.689275188145             },             "transactions": [],             "location": {                 "address1": "14688 Lost Hills Rd",                 "address2": "",                 "address3": "",                 "city": "Lost Hills",                 "zip_code": "93249",                 "country": "US",                 "state": "CA",                 "display_address": [                     "14688 Lost Hills Rd",                     "Lost Hills, CA 93249"                 ]             },             "phone": "+16614482149",             "display_phone": "(661) 448-2149",             "distance": 13784.418058437912         }

It looks like you've almost got it. You just need to use the identifier for 'categories' rather than the name based upon the documentation for the categories parameter which says:

"The value in parenthesis should be used when specifying a search category input."

In your case use restaurants rather than Restaurants. In your code above change the definition for searchRequest to:

const searchRequest = {          categories:"restaurants",          latitude:latitude,          longitude:longitude,          radius:radius       }; 

Hope that helps!
