## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured data on completed M&A transactions specifically facilitated by Benchmark International as the sell-side adviser, particularly for mid-market deals. It is ideal for M&A researchers, corporate development teams, or competitive intelligence workflows that need to track which companies have been acquired, by whom, and in which sectors — without manually scraping benchmarkintl.com. Prefer it over general business-search endpoints when you specifically want Benchmark International's deal history.

## Known failure modes

- Keyword returns zero results if no matching deals exist — returns empty deals array
- Limit parameter outside 1–18 range may be ignored or clamped
- Stale data if Benchmark International has not published new announcements recently (checkedAt timestamp indicates freshness)
- Confidential or live mandates are never included — only publicly announced completed transactions appear
- Network timeout from upstream benchmarkintl.com scrape if the site is slow or unavailable

## How this service works

Pay-per-call company registry, government, legal and B2B data tools for AI agents, from official registers and public sources. Payment: x402, USDC on Base, Solana, Arc, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad, World Chain, Optimism, Avalanche, Celo or Stellar, or RLUSD/XRP on the XRP Ledger. No signup, no API key; a failed call is not charged.

## Output

A JSON object containing the total count of matched deals, an array of deal records (each with a numeric ID, target company name, acquirer name, short deal summary, and full announcement URL on benchmarkintl.com), plus the source URL and the timestamp of when the data was last checked. Results are ordered newest first.
