About Businessesforsale Scraper [$0.85 / 1K] (Pay-Per-Result)

Need to pull business listings from BusinessesForSale.com without the manual hassle? I built this scraper specifically for that. It runs on TypeScript and Cheerio, which makes it reliable and fast—it just gets the data. It extracts every listing, including the structured JSON-LD data that's often the most accurate part of the page. But it goes further: it also captures the search metadata, like the criteria you used, tags, how old the listing is, and the total count of results. This gives you the full context of your search, not just a list of names and prices. I use it for market research and lead generation. You get clean, structured JSON output that's ready to analyze or feed into a CRM. Whether you're looking for acquisition targets, analyzing pricing in a specific sector, or building a list of prospects, this tool handles the tedious part. It's priced per result, so you only pay for what you actually scrape, which keeps costs predictable. Set your search filters on the site, run the actor, and you've got a comprehensive dataset in minutes.
