Using the Yelp API and Twilio Messaging for Flower Delivery

What's this blog post about?

Here is a neutral and interesting 1-paragraph summary of the text: A developer uses the Yelp API to create a system that sends SMS recommendations for florists in a specific delivery area, indicating if they are open or closed. The system involves setting up a Twilio phone number, creating a Twilio Function using the Yelp Fusion API, and adding messaging capabilities to respond to incoming texts with the data received from Yelp. The developer provides step-by-step instructions on how to build this system, including prerequisites such as creating a Yelp account, registering for an API key, and setting up a Twilio account. The system can be customized further to suit different applications, such as choosing restaurants or grabbing photos from business pages.
