Flippa Business Listings Scraper
Scrape Flippa business listings by search, category, price, or revenue, up to a million per run. Every listing comes with its price, revenue, profit, and seller details. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Flippa's official API requires a partnership and rate-limits you. This reads the public business listing pages directly, filtered by search term, category, price, or revenue, and returns each match in one fixed schema. It is the fastest way to build a dataset of online businesses for sale.

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check that your search filters are not too restrictive. Try broadening the price or revenue range, or use a more general search term. Also ensure you are not using both startUrl and search filters.
The Actor stops before reaching maxItems.
Flippa may have fewer listings than your maxItems, or the search returned no more pages. Verify your filters and try a different sort order.
I get an error when using startUrl.
Make sure the URL is a valid Flippa search or listing URL, and that it is not combined with search filters. Use only one input method.
Some fields are empty in the output.
Not all listings have every field populated. Empty fields mean the data was not present on the public page.
The run is slow.
Reduce maxItems or narrow your filters to limit the number of pages to scrape. You can also increase the Actor's memory in the run settings.
