data/businesses

The data endpoint lets you run preview searches and initiate downloads for business data.

Returns

If you set download=false (or don't set it), the data/businesses API call will return a list of matching businesses for your query.

If you don't set records when download=false, it will return up to 10 businesses.
You can set records to a value between 0 and 10 to return up to that many businesses.

If you set download=true, it will return a request object that can be used to monitor the status of the download request.

If you don't set records when download=true, it will initiate a download request for all matching businesses.
You can set records to a value between 1 and the number of matching businesses.
