BusinessesForSale.com listing
One business for sale on BusinessesForSale.com: id, title, status (new, quick sale...), city, region, country, asking price, sales revenue, cash flow, real estate, full description, every detail the listing gives (premises, size, employees, years established, expansion potential, competition, reasons for selling, trading hours, support and training, financing, home based, relocatable...) grouped by section, photos, related searches and the business broker (name, licence number, broker page and number of listings). A private seller's identity is never shown; seller_type says which. Give a listing link as url, or latest=true with the search params to open the first current business.
Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.
Parameters
| name | type | description |
|---|---|---|
url | string | A businessesforsale.com listing link (url of a search result). |
latest | boolean | true: run the search with the other params and open its first current business. Example: true |
country | all | us | uk | canada | mexico | With latest=true: the market. Example: us |
sector_id | integer | With latest=true: sector id. |
sort | relevance | newest | price_asc | price_desc | With latest=true: sort order. |
Every endpoint also takes fresh, raw, fields (see lean responses and caching).
Example
curl "https://api.api.sh/businessesforsale/v1/listing" \
-H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY" import os, requests
res = requests.get(
"https://api.api.sh/businessesforsale/v1/listing",
params={},
headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json() const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/businessesforsale/v1/listing");
const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json(); Response
A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).
