## Pricing

from $4.85 / 1,000 listings

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## PitchBook Company Profile Scraper — Funding & Investors

Scrape **PitchBook** (pitchbook.com) company profiles — description, HQ,
funding rounds, investors, acquisitions, competitors, and FAQ-derived
valuation/revenue — for market research, deal sourcing, competitive
intelligence or M\&A lead lists. **Pay per company profile returned**, no
subscription.

### What you get

One row per company profile, including:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `companyId` | PitchBook company id (from the profile URL) |
| `companyName` | Company name |
| `profileUrl` | The PitchBook profile URL scraped |
| `description` | Company description |
| `website`, `logoUrl` | Website URL, logo image URL |
| `foundedYear`, `employees` | Year founded, employee count |
| `status`, `ownershipStatus`, `financingStatus` | Company/ownership/financing status |
| `primaryIndustry`, `formerlyKnownAs` | Industry classification, former names |
| `hqAddress`, `hqCity`, `hqPostalCode`, `hqCountry` | Structured HQ address |
| `latestDealType`, `financingRoundsCount` | Latest deal type, number of financing rounds |
| `currentValuation`, `currentRevenue` | Current valuation / revenue, when PitchBook has made them public for this company (`null` when gated — see below) |
| `investorsTable`, `investorsTableGated` | Full investor rows when public; `investorsTableGated=true` when this company's investor table is subscription-only |
| `investorsFromFaq`, `investorsTotalCount` | A partial investor name list + total count, surfaced from the page's FAQ even when the full table is gated |
| `fundingRounds`, `fundingRoundsGated` | Funding-round rows when public |
| `acquisitions`, `acquisitionsGated` | Acquisition deals (company, date, type, industry) |
| `competitorsFromFaq`, `competitorsTotalCount` | Named competitors + total count |
| `acquisitionDate`, `acquiredBy` | If this company was itself acquired |
| `faq` | The full public Q\&A block PitchBook publishes for this company |
| `scrapedAt` | ISO 8601 timestamp |

**Every gated table is explicitly flagged** (`investorsTableGated`,
`fundingRoundsGated`, `acquisitionsGated`, `competitorsTableGated`) so you can
always tell "PitchBook doesn't have this" apart from "this data is behind
PitchBook's own paywall for this company" — this actor never guesses or
fabricates a value for a locked table.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `startUrls` | array | PitchBook company profile URLs, e.g. `https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/10874-98` |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max profiles to scrape and charge for (default 50) |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/10874-98" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 10
}
```

### Access & reliability

PitchBook profile pages sit behind Cloudflare Enterprise-class bot defence.
This actor reaches the site through a **built-in managed access layer** —
**no proxy account, key, or login is required on your side.** Extraction
keys on the page's own structured data (JSON-LD, semantic HTML attributes),
not styling classes, so it stays robust across front-end redeploys.

### Pricing

Pay per company profile returned (pay-per-result). You are charged only for
profiles actually delivered to your dataset — failed or blocked fetches cost
nothing.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/10874-98"
        }
    ],
    "maxItems": 10
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("bovi/pitchbook-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

run_input = {
    "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/10874-98" }],
    "maxItems": 10,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("bovi/pitchbook-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,bovi/pitchbook-scraper"
        }
    }

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
