What Can You Do With This Data?

• M&A analysts and buy-side advisors — track listing valuations and multiples across niches in real time
• Private equity and search fund operators — screen for acquisition targets by revenue, profit, and monetization type
• Business brokers — benchmark asking prices and multiples against the broader market
• SaaS and ecommerce investors — monitor deal flow and pricing trends for specific verticals
• Researchers — build datasets on digital business valuations by niche and monetization model

How It Works

1. Sends paginated POST requests to the Empire Flippers AJAX endpoint, retrieving 10 listing cards per page
2. Parses each card for summary metrics (asking price, monthly profit, monthly revenue, multiple)
3. Follows each card's detail URL to extract full financials — profit margin, business age, listing status
4. Stops when maxItems is reached or no more listings are available

Notes

• Empire Flippers uses WordPress AJAX pagination — the scraper handles this automatically
• Detail pages contain the authoritative financials; card-level data is used as a fallback when detail pages are unavailable
• Annual figures (annual_net_profit, annual_revenue) are derived from monthly values multiplied by 12
• The multiple field is in months (e.g. 46 = 46× monthly net profit)
• maxItems controls how many listing records are saved, not how many pages are fetched
