Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need an Owler Pro subscription? A: No. This actor extracts only publicly visible data that any visitor can see on Owler without logging in.

Q: What data is NOT available? A: Owler Pro premium data — detailed employee contact details and full financial breakdowns — is not scraped by this actor. Publicly visible data, including the top competitors (up to 10 per company), the CEO/executive approval rating, and the recent news feed, IS extracted.

Q: How does search mode work? A: The actor starts with seed companies related to your keyword and expands by following competitor links on each profile, building a graph of related companies until maxItems is reached.

Q: Can I scrape by domain name? A: Yes. In byCompany mode you can pass domain names like stripe.com, apple.com, or openai.com — the actor resolves them to Owler company slugs automatically.

Q: How current is the data? A: Owler data is crowdsourced and updated by the Owler community. Revenue and employee figures are estimates and may be several months old.

Q: What is the maximum number of results? A: maxItems accepts values from 1 to 200.

Q: Does the industry filter apply before or after fetching? A: After fetching. The actor profiles each company and then applies the industry filter to the extracted data.
