Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4865 on JSON parsing from API call in Swift

Question

I am trying to pull in and parse a JSON from the Yelp fusion API. Whenever I pull it in and try to parse it and store it as a struct, I get the following error:

    Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4865 "No value associated with key
CodingKeys(stringValue: "businesses", intValue: nil) ("businesses")." 
UserInfo={NSCodingPath=(), NSDebugDescription=No value associated with key
CodingKeys(stringValue: "businesses", intValue: nil) ("businesses").}

Here is the struct that I am using:

struct BusinessInfo: Codable {
let total: Int?
let businesses: [Business?]

struct Business: Codable{
    let alias: String?
    let categories: [Category?]
    let coordinates: Coordinates?
    let display_phone: String?
    let distance: Double?
    let id: String?
    let image_url: String?
    let is_closed: Bool?
    let location: Location?
    let name: String?
    let phone: String?
    let price: String?
    let rating: Double?
    let review_count: Int?
    let transactions: [String?]
    let url: String?

    struct Category: Codable{
        let alias: String?
        let title: String?
    }

    struct Coordinates: Codable {
        let latitude: Double?
        let longitude: Double?
    }

    struct Location: Codable {
        let address1: String?
        let address2: String?
        let address3: String?
        let city: String?
        let country: String?
        let display_address: [String?]
        let state: String?
        let zip_code: String?
    }
}

struct Region: Codable{
    let center: Center?
    struct Center: Codable{
        let latitude: Double?
        let longitude: Double?
    }
}

let region: Region?
}

Here is a sample of the JSON data retrieved from the API:

        latitude = "37.8844";
        longitude = "-84.6135";
    };
};
total = 4;
}

And finally, here is the code I am using to call the API and parse the JSON:

let latitude = currentLocation?.latitude
let longitude = currentLocation?.longitude
let apikey = yelpAPIKey
let url = URL(string: "https://api.yelp.com/v3/businesses/search?term=food&latitude=\(String(describing: latitude))&longitude=\(String(describing: longitude))")
 var request = URLRequest(url: url!)
 request.setValue("Bearer \(apikey)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
        request.httpMethod = "GET"
        //Get JSON from Yelp API
        let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request){ (data, response, error) in
            guard let yelpData = data,
                error == nil else{
                    print(error?.localizedDescription ?? "Response Error")
                    return
            }
            do{
                //Decode the recieved JSON into a BusinessInfo struct
                let result = try JSONDecoder().decode(BusinessInfo.self, from: yelpData)
                APIBusinessInfo.shared = result
            } catch let parsingError as NSError{
                //print(yelpData)
                print("Error:", parsingError)
            }
        }
        task.resume()

I'm not sure why I am recieving this error so any help would be appreciated.

You need to declare businesses array as an Optional shown below,

let businesses: [Business]?

Also do the same on all the other places where you declared non-optional array of Optional e.g,

let categories: [Category]? // instead of let categories: [Category?]
let transactions: [String]? // instead of let transactions: [String?]
