PitchBook Fund Data Scraper

Extract publicly available fund profile data from PitchBook — no subscription or login required. Supports three modes: scrape specific fund profiles by URL, search by keyword, or bulk-collect thousands of funds via PitchBook's sitemap.

What This Scraper Does

This actor fetches fund profile pages from PitchBook and extracts all publicly visible metadata: fund name, strategy, size, vintage year, manager details, status, location, investment counts, and more. It does not require a PitchBook account.

Input

Field	Type	Description
Profile URLs	List of strings	Direct fund profile URLs (e.g. https://pitchbook.com/profiles/fund/11295-73F) or bare IDs (e.g. 11295-73F). When provided, Search Query is ignored.
Search Query	String	Keyword search (e.g. venture capital, buyout europe). Used when no Profile URLs are given.
Max Items	Integer	Maximum number of fund records to return (1–100,000). Ignored in direct URL mode. Default: 10.
Proxy Configuration	Proxy object	Residential proxy is required for reliable scraping. PitchBook's Cloudflare protection rate-limits repeated requests from the same IP.

Input Modes

1. Direct — Provide one or more fund profile URLs. All are processed regardless of Max Items.
2. Search — Provide a search query. The scraper paginates PitchBook search results and returns up to Max Items funds matching your query.
3. Bulk — Leave both fields empty. The scraper streams fund URLs from PitchBook's public sitemaps and returns up to Max Items funds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a PitchBook account? No. This scraper only extracts data from public PitchBook pages that are visible to any visitor without logging in.

Why is a proxy required? PitchBook uses Cloudflare to protect its pages. Without rotating residential proxies, repeated requests from the same IP address will be blocked. The scraper uses Apify's residential proxy pool by default.

What data is NOT available? Fields that require a PitchBook subscription are not included: IRR, DPI, RVPI, TVPI fund returns, dry powder, deal sizes, LP commitment amounts, investment strategy charts, fund terms & fees, and full contact phone numbers.

How many funds are available in bulk mode? PitchBook's public sitemaps contain approximately 150,000+ fund profiles. Use Max Items to control how many are scraped per run.

Can I search for funds by strategy or geography? Yes. Use Search Query with terms like buyout europe, venture capital berlin, or growth equity asia.

What fund URL format does PitchBook use? Fund profile URLs follow the pattern https://pitchbook.com/profiles/fund/{id}F where the ID ends with a capital F (e.g. 11295-73F). This distinguishes fund profiles from investor profiles (/profiles/investor/11295-73).
