Pricing

The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. A Run start event is charged once when processing begins, and an Item extracted event is charged only after a listing row is successfully saved. Volume discounts depend on your Apify plan. See the live Pricing tab for current rates.

Tips for best results

• Start small: Use maxItems: 10-25 until your filters return the right type of deal.
• Use Flippa URLs: Direct listing URLs are best for detail audits; search/category URLs are best for sourcing.
• Keep monitoring runs focused: Use idSync with includeDetails: false for cheap daily change detection.
• Review empty runs: A true zero-result run is valid only when Flippa reports no matching listings.
• Do not add credentials: This Actor is designed for public marketplace data only.

API usage

Node.js:

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor("fetch_cat/flippa-listings-scraper").call({
  propertyTypes: ["website"],
  maxItems: 10,
  includeDetails: true
});
console.log(run.defaultDatasetId);

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("fetch_cat/flippa-listings-scraper").call(run_input={
    "propertyTypes": ["website"],
    "maxItems": 10,
    "includeDetails": True,
})
print(run["defaultDatasetId"])

Limits and caveats

• Public data only: The Actor does not use Flippa credentials, private deal rooms, messages, watchlists, or account-only documents.
• Marketplace variability: Some listings hide metrics, mark fields confidential, or omit optional values.
• Source changes: Flippa can change filters, field names, or availability; row diagnostics help identify missing optional fields.
• Not valuation advice: Use output as research data, not as financial, legal, tax, or investment advice.

Legality and responsible use

Process only public data you are allowed to access. Follow Flippa's terms, Apify's terms, and applicable laws. Respect confidentiality flags and do not attempt to bypass access controls.

FAQ

Can I export results?

Yes. Apify datasets support JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, and API access.

Why are some fields empty?

Flippa listings vary by asset type and confidentiality. The Actor leaves unavailable public fields empty instead of guessing.

Can this scrape seller contact details?

No. V1 focuses on public Flippa listing data and does not enrich external websites or collect private contact data.

Can I schedule monitoring?

Yes. Create a scheduled Apify task with mode: "idSync", a low maxItems, and your preferred Flippa category/search filters.
