biz collect is an agent-first REST API that turns a location plus keywords into enriched, structured local-business leads (name, address, phone, website, opening hours, verified contact emails, social profiles, and outgoing links) as clean JSON. Authenticate with a bearer API key (Authorization: Bearer biz_live_...). The full contract is an OpenAPI 3.1 document you can use to generate a typed client.
Evaluating this against the raw Google Places API or a scraper first? Read Google Places API vs scrapers vs business data APIs for the field, compliance, and cost trade-offs.
The core flow is asynchronous: POST /api/v1/search returns a job_id and poll URL in milliseconds, then you poll GET /api/v1/jobs/{job_id} until the job completes (or pass "wait": true for a single synchronous call, or register a webhook and receive a signed POST on completion).
POST /api/v1/search - start a search (async by default, or wait: true for one synchronous call).GET /api/v1/jobs/{job_id} - job status, progress, and the full results array.GET /api/v1/jobs/{job_id}/export - download results as CSV, XLSX, or JSON.GET /api/v1/account - workspace, credit balance, plan, and usage.POST /api/v1/webhooks - subscribe to job.completed / job.failed events.
