## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable data from BusinessesForSale.com listings — especially for bulk research, price comparison, or deal sourcing across industries or regions. It supports rich filtering (price, cash flow, location, industry) and sorts, making it ideal for investment screening workflows. Choose it over manual browsing or general-purpose scrapers when you need consistent field mapping (askingPrice, revenue, description) across many listings.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if no listings match the query filters
- Site structure changes may break extraction and return incomplete fields
- Invalid industry slug or state path returns no results
- Rate limiting or blocking by target site may cause failed runs (not charged)
- Malformed start URLs result in empty or error responses

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a count of listings found and an array of items, each containing the listing URL, title, asking price (numeric and text), revenue, currency, listing ID, and description. Includes fuller operational details and images when includeDetails is enabled.
