Online Businesses for Sale: Listings, Price, Profit, Multiple

Pull public listings of online businesses for sale (content sites, ecommerce stores, SaaS, apps, newsletters, agencies) from Empire Flippers into a clean table: asking price, monthly revenue, monthly profit, multiple, niche, business model, age, listing date and the listing link. Filter by budget and multiple, and switch on new-only mode to get just the listings you have not seen before.

It reads only Empire Flippers' public Marketplace API, which Empire Flippers documents for anyone to pull its listings. No login, no private data rooms, no seller contact details, and no copied listing descriptions: each row holds the numbers and categories, a short headline and the link to the full listing.

What you get

• Clean deal data. Price, revenue, profit, multiple, niche, business model, age and listing date in one table you can sort and filter.
• Deal filters. Minimum and maximum price, minimum monthly revenue or profit, maximum multiple, minimum age, and niche or business-model keywords.
• New-listings mode. Schedule the Actor daily with onlyNewSinceLastRun and each run returns only listings earlier runs did not return, so you are billed for new deals only.
• No-input demo. Run it with an empty input and it returns 5 current listings so you can see the output.

Use cases

• Acquisition entrepreneurs and search funds who want a daily shortlist of under-priced online businesses.
• Brokers and advisers tracking asking multiples by niche.
• Researchers measuring what online businesses sell for (price to profit by category and age).
• Newsletter and deal-alert builders who need a feed of fresh listings.

Field notes: amounts are USD as published. multiple is the marketplace's own asking multiple (annual profit basis). ageYears is computed from the date the business first made money. A field the listing does not show is null, never a guess. The full listing text stays on the listing page behind url.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.003 per listing returned (about $3 per 1,000). Starting the Actor, runs that find nothing and listings you filter out cost nothing.

Worked examples:

• Daily new-only deal alert, about 10 new listings a day: 10 x $0.003 = $0.03 a day, about $0.90 a month.
• One snapshot of 150 listings: 150 x $0.003 = $0.45.
• The no-input demo: 5 listings = $0.015.

Set a maximum total charge on the run to cap spend.

Limits

• Reads at a polite pace: one request every 1.5 seconds (the API asks for no more than one a second), 100 listings per request.
• If the API answers with an access error, the Actor stops, keeps what it has and says so in the run's status message. It does not retry past a block.
• Asking prices and metrics are the seller's claims as published, not verified by this Actor.

FAQ

Is this allowed? The Actor uses the public Marketplace API that Empire Flippers documents for pulling its listings, within its stated rate limit, and checks robots.txt on every run. It copies no listing descriptions.

Can I get other marketplaces? Not today. Marketplaces whose terms do not allow automated collection are not read, and a run that names one skips it and says so in the status message.

Does it return seller names or contact details? No. Listings are anonymous and the Actor does not look for the sellers.

Why is a listing missing a price or a multiple? The marketplace shows none (for example unpriced listings), so the field is null. If you set a price or multiple filter, such listings are skipped.

Can I get alerts? Schedule the Actor and connect the dataset to a webhook, Slack, email or a sheet through Apify integrations. New-only mode keeps each run to fresh listings.

Responsible use

This Actor collects public listing data only. You are responsible for how you use it and for complying with the marketplace's terms and with any laws that apply to you. Do not use listing data to contact sellers outside the marketplace's own process.
