Empire Flippers Scraper — online businesses for sale and sold comps, with monthly P&L and traffic

This Empire Flippers scraper exports the listings of Empire Flippers (empireflippers.com), the curated marketplace of online businesses, as one clean row per business: asking price, SDE multiple (annual and monthly), average monthly and annual revenue, expenses and net profit, profit margin, the monthly P&L, monthly traffic by channel, niches, monetizations, first revenue date and age, days on the marketplace, hours of work a week, reason for sale, seller support, assets included, risks and opportunities — plus TACoS, COGS and SKU counts for Amazon businesses and churn, LTV and MRR for SaaS. Get the businesses for sale now, the ones pending sold, or the sold archive (over 2,600 closed deals) as valuation comparables.

• Sold comps for valuations: every sold listing with its asking price, multiple and 12 months of P&L. Filter by monetization, niche, country, price, profit, multiple and sold date ("sold in the last 180 days").
• Deal alerts: run it every day with "listed in the last 1 day" and get each new business the day it is listed.
• Every field Empire Flippers publishes, from its public Marketplace API — more than its marketplace cards show.

You pay per listing delivered. Searches without results and links that give nothing are free rows that say why. No login, no start fee.

What the Empire Flippers scraper is for

• Acquirers, search funds and investors: watch Empire Flippers deal flow with your own price, profit, multiple and niche filters, and compare each new listing against the closed deals like it.
• Brokers and M&A advisors: SDE multiples by monetization (Amazon FBA, SaaS, content, eCommerce), niche, size and age, from thousands of real sold listings; how the market priced deals this year against last.
• Valuation and market research: profit margins, revenue trends, traffic and work required across the whole marketplace in one dataset.
• Lenders and service providers: who is selling what, at which size, and which listings are approved for private lender or SBA financing.

Looking at other marketplaces too? The same buyers use our Flippa Scraper (websites, SaaS, apps and domains on Flippa, with sold comps) and our BusinessesForSale.com Scraper (offline businesses and franchises in the US, UK, Australia and worldwide).

How the Empire Flippers scraper works

1. Each keyword (or the filters alone) becomes one query to Empire Flippers' public listings API, built the way its documentation describes. A pasted marketplace page, listing link or API link is read as it is.
2. The Actor reads up to 100 listings per request, one request per second as the API asks, until your maximum: the whole marketplace, sold archive included (about 2,900 listings), takes about half a minute.
3. A listing found by an earlier search of the same run is delivered and charged once.

Free rows

• search: one per search or pasted search — ok, no_results, blocked, not_searched (spending limit) or unreadable — with Empire Flippers' own count (totalListed), how many listings were delivered, how many were duplicates of an earlier search, and how many could not be read.
• link: a listing link that gave nothing — invalid, not_found (removed from the marketplace), blocked, not_read (spending limit) or unreadable.

The run's SUMMARY record counts everything.

Empire Flippers scraper pricing

event	price	when
listing	US$0.002	each business delivered, for sale or sold, with every field above

100 listings cost US$0.20; the whole sold archive (about 2,700 listings) about US$5.40. No start fee. Free rows cost nothing. Set a spending limit on the run and the Actor stops at the last listing it pays for.

Limits of the Empire Flippers data

• What the public API gives, and nothing behind Empire Flippers' "Unlock": the business's URL, its documents and the seller's identity are shown only to verified buyers and are never read.
• The final sale price of a sold listing is not published: askingPriceUsd is the asking price when it sold.
• Several keywords in one search match listings with any of them (Empire Flippers' full-text search); put each idea in its own keyword to keep the results apart.
• Listings can disappear from the marketplace for Empire Flippers' own reasons; a link to one is a free not_found row.
• If Empire Flippers refuses (a firewall answer or a bot check), the Actor retries twice from another IP, never solves a challenge, and then stops asking: the rest are free blocked rows and the run still ends successfully.

Is scraping Empire Flippers legal?

This Actor reads only Empire Flippers' public Marketplace API, which Empire Flippers documents for anyone, without authentication, to pull its listings "or use the data personally as a buyer" — at the pace its documentation asks (one request a second). It never signs in and never requests what a buyer sees after unlocking a listing. If you plan to republish the listings, Empire Flippers asks syndication partners to join its Referral Program. Using the data is your responsibility, including Empire Flippers' terms of use and data protection law where you work.

This Actor is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by Empire Flippers. Read more in Apify's blog post on the legality of web scraping.
