Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Empire Flippers Marketplace Scraper Scrapes active business-for-sale listings from the Empire Flippers marketplace. Returns asking price, financials, niche, monetization model, and deal terms for every listing — no account required. --- ### Features - Scrapes all active listings from [empireflippers.com/marketplace](https://empireflippers.com/marketplace/) - Extracts card-level summary metrics and full detail-page financials - Returns asking price, monthly profit, monthly revenue, trailing multiple, and profit margin - Supports optional filtering by monetization type and business niche - Configurable `maxItems` cap — scrape 10 listings or the whole marketplace - No proxy required — Empire Flippers serves full HTML without bot protection --- ### 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 --- ### Input ```json { "maxItems": 10, "monetization": "Amazon FBA", "niche": "Health" } ```` | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `maxItems` | integer | `10` | Maximum number of listings to scrape. Leave empty to scrape all active listings. | | `monetization` | string | `""` | Filter by monetization type (e.g. `"Amazon FBA"`, `"eCommerce"`, `"SaaS"`, `"Affiliate"`). Leave empty for all. | | `niche` | string | `""` | Filter by business niche (e.g. `"Health"`, `"Software"`). Leave empty for all. | *** ### Output Each item in the dataset represents one Empire Flippers listing. All dollar amounts are numeric (USD). | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `listing_number` | string | Empire Flippers listing number (e.g. `93773`) | | `title` | string | Human-readable title combining niche and monetization model | | `detail_url` | string | Full URL to the listing detail page | | `niche` | string | Business niche (e.g. `Entertainment, Electronics, Technology`) | | `monetization` | string | Monetization model (e.g. `Amazon FBA`, `eCommerce`, `Affiliate`) | | `asking_price` | number | Listing asking price in USD | | `monthly_net_profit` | number | Average monthly net profit in USD | | `monthly_revenue` | number | Average monthly revenue in USD | | `annual_net_profit` | number | Annual net profit (monthly × 12) | | `annual_revenue` | number | Annual revenue (monthly × 12) | | `multiple` | number | Valuation multiple in months | | `profit_margin_pct` | number | Profit margin percentage | | `business_started_year` | string | Year the business first made money | | `status` | string | Listing status — `For Sale`, `Under Offer`, or `Sold` | | `date_first_made_money` | string | Date or year the business first made money | | `scrapedAt` | string | ISO-8601 timestamp of when the record was scraped | #### Sample Record ```json { "listing_number": "93773", "title": "Entertainment, Electronics, Technology — Amazon FBA", "detail_url": "https://empireflippers.com/listing/93773/", "niche": "Entertainment, Electronics, Technology", "monetization": "Amazon FBA", "asking_price": 2971646, "monthly_net_profit": 64601, "monthly_revenue": 223024, "annual_net_profit": 775212, "annual_revenue": 2676288, "multiple": 46, "profit_margin_pct": 29, "status": "For Sale", "business_started_year": "2016", "date_first_made_money": "2016", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-04T03:00:00.000Z" } ``` *** ### 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 *** ### Support Questions or issues?
