Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Ensure your filters are not too narrow. Try removing revenue or EBITDA limits, or use a broader location.

The scraper returns fewer listings than expected.

Increase maxItems and check that your filters match available listings. Some combinations may return few results.

Can I scrape without filters?

Yes, leave all filter fields empty and set maxItems to your desired count to scrape all available listings.

The direct URL does not work.

Make sure the URL includes the c__searchparams parameter. Copy it directly from the Benchmark International site.
