  longitude = NULL, phone = NULL, zip_code = NULL,
  yelp_business_id = NULL, match_threshold = c("default", "none"),
  access_token = Sys.getenv("YELP_ACCESS_TOKEN", NA))

`address3`	A string giving the address where the business is located.
`latitude`	A number representing the latitude to search close to.
