• Set Reasonable Limits: Use itemLimit to control the number of listings scraped and avoid overloading BizBuySell’s servers.
• Validate Queries: Ensure query terms are valid and relevant to prevent empty results.
• Batch Requests: For large-scale scraping, break queries into smaller batches to maintain performance.
• Monitor Outputs: Regularly check JSON outputs for consistency and completeness.

---

🛠️ Advanced Configuration

• Targeted Queries: Use precise location or category terms (e.g., "texas restaurants") for more focused results.
• Scaling Up: Increase itemLimit for broader data collection, but monitor proxy usage to avoid rate-limiting.
• Custom Fields: Contact DataWizards for additional fields (e.g., business type, financial metrics) or custom output formats.
