Flippa Data Scraper

Extract structured data from Flippa.com listings — the world's largest marketplace for buying and selling online businesses.

Supports two modes: scrape the entire Flippa platform in one run, or paste any custom search URL with your own filters (category, price, revenue, sale method, and more).

No login required. Returns the full JSON data that Flippa serves to its own frontend.

Features

• Full platform scrape — ~6,300+ active listings in one run
• Custom filtered search — paste any Flippa search URL with your filters applied
• Maximum data — returns the complete JSON payload Flippa uses internally (50+ fields)
• Pagination handled automatically — no manual page management needed
• Smart limits — if your Max Results exceeds what Flippa has, it collects everything and stops cleanly (no wasted requests)
• Run metadata saved — scrape statistics stored to Key-Value Store after every run
• Apify Proxy support — built-in proxy rotation to avoid blocks
