BusinessesForSale.com Scraper

What BusinessesForSale.com Scraper can do

• Two ways to start. Build a search from filters (keywords, country, price/revenue/cash-flow ranges, sort order) or paste any search-result URL, both of which walk as many result pages as you ask for, or paste an individual listing URL for a single record.
• Rich detail on demand. Turn on detail enrichment for the full description, every gallery photo, premises size, employee count, year established, trading hours and lease/freehold tenure, on top of the headline financials.
• Server-side filters that actually narrow the catalogue. Keywords, global coverage or one of seven markets, asking price/revenue/cash-flow ranges, disclosed-only toggles, and eight sort orders.
• Global coverage. Search the worldwide catalogue or pin to a single market: United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand or South Africa.
• Cost control built in. A results-only search run skips the detail-enrichment surcharge, and Max pages / Max listings cap any run before it grows (Max listings is clamped to 1,000,000 per run).
• Built for monitoring. Incremental mode returns only new and changed listings on repeat runs against the same search, and Resume continues one interrupted run without re-scraping what you already collected.
