- **Tool id:** `anysite-api-bbb-businesses-search`
- **Provider:** [Anysite](/providers/anysite)

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `accredited_only` | boolean | no | Only return BBB accredited businesses |
| `count` | integer | yes | Max number of results to return |
| `keyword` | string | yes | Business name or category to search for. Example: "plumbing" |
| `location` | string | no | City and state or ZIP code to search near. Example: "New York, NY" |
| `radius` | string | no |   |
| `rating` | string | no |   |
| `timeout` | integer | no | Max scrapping execution timeout (in seconds) |
| `x-request-id` | string | no |   |

## Output

The run's `result` holds the provider's answer. Signed in, `looot inspect anysite-api-bbb-businesses-search` prints its fields.

## Run it

Every call needs your API token in `LOOOT_TOKEN`; [Sign in](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With `wait: 30` the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll `GET /v1/runs/<runId>`.

Example input with placeholder values:

<CodeGroup>

```bash curl
curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \

  -d '{"endpointId":"anysite-api-bbb-businesses-search","input":{"keyword":"plumbing","count":1,"location":"New York, NY"},"wait":30}'
```

```js JavaScript

    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
```

```python Python

To let looot pick among every provider of this job instead, send `job:api.bbb.businesses.search` as `endpointId`; see [the job page](/reference/jobs/api-bbb-businesses-search).
