Flippa API

Search Flippa listings of online businesses for sale and pull prices, revenue, profit and multiples as JSON.

The API.SH Flippa API turns the public Flippa marketplace for online businesses, websites, apps, domains and channels into structured JSON. Search with the site's filters for category, industry, asking price, monthly revenue and profit, profit and revenue multiples, age, traffic and sale method, 50 results a page. Then open a listing for its asking price or bid, site age, profit margin, page views, multiples, verification flags, what the vetting team checked and the seller's public profile.

API.SH vs the official Flippa API

Flippa does not offer a public listings API; its integrations connect sellers' analytics and accounting tools to their own listings. API.SH reads the public marketplace and returns it as JSON. Financials behind Flippa's sign-in or NDA are not included.

Apify hosts several competing Flippa scraper actors with different fields and prices. API.SH gives you two supported endpoints, the full set of site filters and a fixed price per call.

Flippa API questions

What Flippa data can I get?+

Search of businesses, websites, apps, domains and channels for sale with every site filter (/flippa/v1/search), and one listing with price, revenue, profit, multiples, traffic, flags, vetting notes and seller profile (/flippa/v1/listing).

How much does the Flippa API cost?+

Every Flippa endpoint costs 1 credit per call. On a monthly plan 1,000 credits cost $1 (Starter is $50/month for 50,000 credits). Pay-as-you-go is $2 per 1,000 credits, with top-ups from $15 that never expire.

Is there a free trial?+

Yes. Every account gets 1,000 free credits every month. That is 1,000 calls to /flippa/v1/listing at 1 credit each.

Is there an official Flippa API?+

Not for listings data. Flippa's integrations let sellers connect analytics and accounting platforms to verify their own numbers. API.SH covers public listing data.

Do I need a Flippa account or login?+

No. API.SH reads public Flippa pages only. No endpoint uses a login, cookies or anyone's account. Financials and seller notes behind the site's sign-in or NDA are not returned.

Can I use it to value an online business?+

It gives you the inputs: asking prices next to monthly revenue, monthly profit and profit and revenue multiples, filterable by category and industry. The valuation itself is up to you.

Is there a free Flippa scraper?+

API.SH is a paid API, but every account gets 1,000 free credits every month to test Flippa searches and listings. That is 1,000 calls to /flippa/v1/listing at 1 credit each.

How do I get started?+

1. Sign up at api.sh. 2. Copy your API key. 3. Call /flippa/v1/search with category=saas and sort=newest. Request examples and every parameter are in the docs at https://api.sh/docs. You can also use the JS or Python SDK, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or the MCP server at https://api.sh/mcp.
