Input

To start BizBuySell web scraping, simply fill in the input form. You can scrape BizBuySell based on:

• startUrls - Use listing URLs (e.g., https://www.bizbuysell.com/Business-Opportunity/example/123456/) or search URLs (e.g., https://www.bizbuysell.com/california-businesses-for-sale/). Add filters on BizBuySell's search page, then copy the URL here.
• maxItems - Set the maximum number of listings to collect (up to 1,000,000). Leave empty for unlimited.
• includeRawHTML - When enabled, adds a rawHTML field to each result with the full HTML of the details page.

Here's what the filled-out input schema looks like:

And here it is written in JSON:

{
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.bizbuysell.com/california-businesses-for-sale/?q=bHQ9MzAsNDAsODA%3D"
    ],
    "maxItems": 10,
