# Local-business prospecting Produce a business shortlist with transparent selection criteria and source evidence. Researching a list does not authorize sending outreach or importing it into a CRM; perform those actions only when the user requests them. ## Setup and requests Set `CRAWLORA_API_KEY` to your key from [crawlora.net](https://crawlora.net). Run the bundled `scripts/crawlora.sh` from this skill's directory or by absolute path. It calls `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1` with `x-api-key` and prints JSON. Keep the key in the environment. Read [reference/endpoints.md](reference/endpoints.md) for the exact parameters; providers use different geography and pagination fields. ## Workflow 1. Establish the business type, geography, requested count, and qualification criteria from the user's brief. If a material criterion is missing, ask; otherwise state a reasonable assumption and start with a small discovery page. 2. Search `/datasets/google-map-businesses/search` for bulk discovery. Use `/facets?facet=category` to discover exact, possibly localized category labels. Search supports `page_size` up to 100 and a 10,000-record result window. Radius searches require `lat`, `lon`, and `radius_m` (maximum 50,000 meters). Dataset counts describe this indexed corpus, not every business in the area. 3. For fresh discovery or sparse dataset results, use live Google Maps search. Apple Maps and Yelp can supplement coverage; read their individual parameters i
