How to use the BizQuest Scraper - Full Demo

Watch this demo to see how easy it is to get started!

Input

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

• Location - Filter by location (optional). Examples: 'California', 'New York', 'Texas', 'Florida'
• Industry - Filter by industry (optional). Examples: 'Restaurant', 'Retail', 'Manufacturing', 'Technology'
• Minimum Price - Minimum asking price in USD (optional)
• Maximum Price - Maximum asking price in USD (optional)
• Minimum Cash Flow - Minimum cash flow (SDE) in USD (optional)
• Maximum Cash Flow - Maximum cash flow (SDE) in USD (optional)
• Listing Age (Days) - Only include listings added within the last N days (optional)
• Force All Filters (AND Logic) - When enabled (default: true), listings must match ALL specified filters to be included. Listings with undisclosed prices or cash flow are excluded when the corresponding filter is set. When disabled, relies on BizQuest's default filtering behavior.
• maxItems - Maximum number of businesses to collect. Free users: Limited to 100. Paid users: Optional, max 1,000,000

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

And here it is written in JSON:

{
    "location": "California",
    "industry": "Restaurant",
    "priceMin": 100000,
    "priceMax": 1000000,
    "cashFlowMin": 50000,
    "maxItems": 10
}

Pro Tip: Combine multiple filters for precise targeting. For example, search for restaurants in California with asking prices between $100,000 and $1,000,000.

Force All Filters (AND Logic)

The forceAllFilters parameter (enabled by default) ensures strict AND logic filtering on your results. This is important because BizQuest's API occasionally returns listings that don't match all filter criteria, particularly franchise listings with placeholder data.

When enabled (default: true):

• Listings must match ALL specified filters (price, cash flow, etc.)
• Listings with "Price not disclosed" or missing cash flow are excluded when the corresponding filter is set
• The scraper continues fetching until it reaches your maxItems count of valid listings

When disabled:

• Relies solely on BizQuest's server-side filtering
• Some listings may slip through that don't match all your criteria (approximately 10% in our tests)

Example: With priceMin: 100000 and cashFlowMin: 100000, enabling forceAllFilters ensures you only receive listings where BOTH the price is at least $100,000 AND the cash flow is at least $100,000.
