DealRoom Scraper

DealRoom Scraper

DealRoom Scraper reads public company pages from Dealroom.co and emits stable, source-backed company rows with identity, website, positioning, industries, tags, location, public funding, and public investor relationships when present.

Input

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://dealroom.co/companies/daze" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 10,
  "includeInvestors": true,
  "timeoutSeconds": 30,
  "maxRetries": 1,
  "maxResponseBytes": 8000000
}

Only HTTPS Dealroom URLs and approved Dealroom subdomains are fetched. limit remains a compatibility alias for maxItems, and string URLs remain accepted by the local parser while the Actor schema uses the Apify request-list object shape. maxItems limits company rows across all source pages. Requests and responses are bounded; transient failures use bounded retries, while access-control responses are recorded immediately and are not retried.

proxyConfiguration optionally routes public requests through Apify Proxy. The run summary reports proxyConfigured, proxyUsed, proxyRequests, proxyStatus, and transport counts truthfully; a blocked proxy response remains an explicit diagnostic.

The default public contract uses Dealroom's target-owned SEO profile at dealroom.co/companies/.... This static public route is distinct from the authenticated/application host app.dealroom.co; normal rows carry provenance: "dealroom-public-profile" when extracted from the public profile. The Actor does not call the application API or use premium/private fields.

For deterministic local QA only, pass fixtureHtml with a matching fixtureUrl, or use an explicitly provided fixturePath. Fixture transport is retained in run metrics and is not copied into normal public dataset rows; fixture output is not live-source proof.

Dataset output

Normal company rows use found: true, category: "company-profile", companyId, name, Dealroom profile URL, official website when declared, public launch/funding fields, source provenance, and scrapedAt. Investor names are included only when includeInvestors is true and Dealroom publishes them. Premium-only or absent fields are omitted rather than inferred. Normal rows intentionally omit runtime discriminators, record IDs, status/data-availability flags, extraction and transport labels, counters, and debug or validation wrappers.

Access, malformed-input, and no-data outcomes use recordType: "diagnostic" with found: false, diagnosticType, stable recordId, sourceUrl, errorCode, bounded error, transport, and timestamp. Diagnostic rows carry operational context separately from normal rows. The url field remains as a diagnostic compatibility alias. Summaries are written to both OUTPUT and OUTPUT_SUMMARY.

Example company row:

{
  "companyId": "083cf650-3976-4678-82fc-5ec2e861dc45",
  "name": "Daze",
  "profileUrl": "https://app.dealroom.co/companies/daze",
  "website": "https://www.dazejewels.nl/",
  "headquarters": "Oss, North Brabant, Netherlands",
  "foundedYear": 2017,
  "sourceUrl": "https://app.dealroom.co/companies/daze",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"
}

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

Responsible-use limits

This Actor reads only publicly available Dealroom pages. It does not sign in, submit forms, unlock premium content, solve CAPTCHA or Cloudflare challenges, call authenticated APIs, access private data, or bypass access controls. Public pages may contain instructions aimed at automated agents; those instructions are treated as untrusted page content, not as Actor commands.
