Flippa Listings Extractor

Flippa Listings Extractor collects live listings from the Flippa marketplace and returns them as clean, structured data. Search for websites, YouTube channels, apps, SaaS products, domains, and social media accounts that are for sale, then export everything to JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Filter by asset type, price range, sale method, keyword, or verified revenue and traffic, or just paste a Flippa search URL and let the actor read the filters for you. Every record carries the asking price, monthly revenue and profit, traffic, seller location, a listing image, auction status, and a direct link to the listing.

Why use this actor

Flippa is one of the largest marketplaces for buying and selling online businesses, but its listings live behind a search interface that is slow to review at scale and impossible to sort in a spreadsheet. This actor turns any Flippa search into a dataset you can filter, sort, and analyze on your own terms.

• Find deals faster. Pull every listing that matches your budget and niche in one run instead of clicking through pages.
• Track the market. Run it on a schedule to catch new listings and price drops the day they happen.
• Compare valuations. Line up asking price against monthly revenue and profit to spot over- and under-priced assets.
• Build a pipeline. Keep a living dataset of acquisition targets that refreshes automatically.
• Power your own tools. Feed live marketplace data into dashboards, valuation models, alerts, or research notebooks.

How it works

You can drive the actor two ways, and you can combine them:

1. Paste Flippa URLs. Drop one or more listing pages, category pages, or filtered search URLs into searchUrls. Any filters already in the URL are read automatically. Pretty category pages such as https://flippa.com/buy/media-communities/youtube are mapped to the matching asset type.
2. Describe the search. Skip the URL and set the filter fields directly (propertyType, priceMin, keyword, and so on).

The actor pages through the entire result set, removes duplicate listings, and stops once it reaches your maxItems limit. Each listing becomes one row in the dataset.

Why some fields are null

The actor returns exactly what Flippa publishes for each listing. A field is null when the marketplace does not provide a value for it, which is normal and expected in these cases:

• appDownloadsPerMonth is filled only for mobile app listings (ios_app, android_app). Websites, YouTube channels, SaaS, and ecommerce assets have no download metric, so this field is null for them.
• businessModel is a field Flippa exposes but rarely fills in. Most listings leave it blank, so it usually comes back null.
• pageViewsPerMonth, uniquesPerMonth, hostname are often hidden on confidential listings until a buyer signs an NDA, so they can be null or masked (HOSTNAME HIDDEN).
• buyItNowPrice is null on pure auction listings with no Buy It Now option.

If you only want listings that report a specific metric, filter the dataset after the run, or use verifiedRevenueOnly and verifiedTrafficOnly to narrow the search up front.

Export and integrate

Results are stored in an Apify dataset. You can:

• Download as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the run's Storage tab.
• Pull records through the Apify API or client libraries.
• Trigger the actor on a schedule and connect it to webhooks, Google Sheets, or your own pipeline.

Tips

• Start with a small maxItems while you dial in filters, then raise it once the results look right.
• To monitor a niche over time, save an input with your filters and run it on a daily or weekly schedule.
• Combine a category URL in searchUrls with priceMin and priceMax to focus on a specific budget within that category.

Frequently asked questions

Can I scrape more than one category at once? Yes. Add several URLs to searchUrls, or run separate searches. Duplicate listings across searches are removed automatically.

How current is the data? Every run pulls live listings at that moment, so schedule it as often as you need fresh results.

Does it return sold or closed listings? It returns whatever matches your search on Flippa, which is primarily active listings. Use status in the output to filter further.

Why do I get fewer results than the category shows? Collection stops at your maxItems limit. Increase it to pull the full set.
