## 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`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability businessesforsale-scraper-api-x402-77518f83 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Find me up to 50 restaurant businesses for sale in Texas, priced under $500K, sorted by asking price ascending — pull full listing details including descriptions and financials.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable business listing data from businessesforsale.com without building or maintaining your own scraper. It is especially valuable for agents doing acquisition research, deal sourcing, or competitive market analysis where pay-per-successful-call pricing is preferred over a subscription. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when you need pre-structured fields like askingPrice, revenue, and listingId rather than raw HTML.

## Known failure modes

- No listings match the given filters — call is not charged
- Invalid or unreachable start URL returns an empty result
- Unsupported querySort value causes a validation error
- Rate limiting or blocking by the target site may result in an empty run — not charged
- Malformed price or cash-flow strings (e.g. wrong format) may yield no results

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a count of matched listings and an array of items, each with fields including the listing URL, title, asking price (numeric and text), revenue, currency, listing ID, and description. With includeDetails enabled, fuller descriptions, images, status, categories, and operational information are also included.
