Empire Flippers Marketplace Scraper

Scrape Empire Flippers' curated online-business marketplace — browse/filter by keyword/niche, monetization type, and price range, or look up a single listing by ID for its full public detail-page data. Returns every field visible to an anonymous visitor: listing ID, niches, price, monthly net profit/revenue, monthly multiple, monetization type(s), launch year, 12-month growth trends, verified badge, profit margin, business age, assets included in the sale, full description, opportunities/risks, seller support, reason for sale, work hours, domain type/platform, 12-month earnings history, and similar listings. No login, no proxy, no cookies required.

What this actor does

• Browse marketplace (mode: browse, default) — search/filter the listing grid by keyword/niche, monetization type, and price range
• Single listing detail (mode: listingDetail) — fetch one listing's full public detail page by numeric listingId, bypassing the browse filters since you already know which listing you want
• Detail enrichment — set includeFullDetails: true in browse mode to merge every detail-page field into each browsed listing (one extra request per listing)
• Keyword search — matches niche names (e.g. SaaS, Technology) or an exact listing number, the same way the site's own search box does
• Public data only — never scrapes or fabricates fields Empire Flippers hides behind free registration (site/domain URLs, social handles, seller Q&A, Semrush authority score); use the returned listingUrl to view those after registering
• Empty fields are omitted

FAQ

Does this require an Empire Flippers account? No. Every field comes from pages visible to anonymous visitors — the marketplace cards and each listing's public detail page.

Is this affiliated with Empire Flippers? No, this is a third-party actor that reads Empire Flippers' public marketplace pages.

Can I get the site URL, social media, seller Q&A, or Authority Score? No — Empire Flippers requires free registration to view these (site/domain URLs, social media handles, seller Q&A, and the Semrush authority-score/domain-rank/referring-domains metrics). This actor only scrapes fields visible to anonymous visitors and never fabricates gated data. Use the listingUrl field to view them after registering directly on Empire Flippers.

Why do some listings show priceType: "makeOffer" with no priceUsd? Empire Flippers lists some businesses as "Make Offer" instead of a fixed price. The actor reports this explicitly rather than inventing a number.

Why do some listings have no trafficTrendPct? Empire Flippers only shows a trend percentage when it has enough trailing history (e.g. a "Traffic (0 months)" window on a brand-new listing has no percentage to show). The actor omits the field rather than emitting a fake 0%.

Why do some listings have no domainType? Pure Amazon FBA/Amazon Merch businesses without a standalone website show "None" for domain type on Empire Flippers — the actor omits the field rather than pushing the literal text "None".

What's the difference between summary and description? summary is the short blurb shown on the marketplace card; description is the full multi-paragraph write-up from the listing detail page (only present with includeFullDetails or in listingDetail mode).

Does keyword support partial niche matches? Yes — it searches both niche names and listing numbers the same way the site's own search box does (e.g. SaaS, Technology, or 94659).

Is the marketplace sorted a specific way? Empire Flippers sorts newest listings first, then by price — this order isn't user-configurable on the public marketplace page, so the actor mirrors it as-is.

How many listings does Empire Flippers have live at once? The marketplace only ever lists businesses actively for sale — typically a few hundred across all niches combined. Setting maxItems above the current inventory size is safe; the actor returns everything available and stops cleanly.
