Why open data instead of scraping a maps product

No blocking, no proxy cost. Nothing to be rate-limited out of.
No terms-of-service exposure for you or your client. OpenStreetMap is licensed for reuse under ODbL; attribution is included in every record.
Honest trade-off: coverage is thinner than a commercial map, and varies by region and category. The run summary reports exactly how many records carried a website and a phone, so an empty result is never mistaken for "no businesses here".

Built for reliability

Overpass is community-run and returns 504 under load — during development a single endpoint failed three times in a row and made the whole approach look impossible. This rotates four mirrors with retries before giving up.

It also queries both node and way and de-duplicates, because a business mapped as a building footprint and as a point would otherwise appear twice.

Input

field	notes
`location`	"Brighton, UK" — geocoded to a bounding box for you
`categories`	30 supported, from `accountant` and `lawyer` to `plumber` and `bakery`
`onlyWithWebsite`	recommended when piping into the lead finder
`maxResults`	up to 1000
`bbox`	`[south, west, north, east]` if you want exact control

The pipeline

Local Business Finder  →  websites  →  Business Contact & Lead Finder  →  named people

Run this to get the companies, then feed the website column into the Business Contact & Lead Finder, which crawls each site and returns decision-makers with job titles, emails, phones and LinkedIn pages.
