How it works

  1. Fetches Algolia API credentials dynamically from /companies page (YC rotates these keys)
  2. Paginated search via Algolia (100 hits/page, up to 5894 total)
  3. Optional per-company /companies/{slug} fetch for founder + socials data

No login, no API key, no Thunderbit. Pure direct API.
