Data API / DataForSEO / Business Data

Live Business Listings Search Tasks

Searches DataForSEO's own index of local business listings by categories, description, title and location_coordinate - a latitude, longitude and radius triple. Returns total_count, count, offset, offset_token and items, paged with the token. Wrapped in DataForSEO's envelope: data in tasks[0].result, outcome in tasks[0].status_code - a rejected request still returns HTTP 200. This reads an index and answers immediately; everything else here queues a live scrape of the source. Start with this and drill in only where it matters.

Parameters

No path, query, or header parameters.
