Company Acquisitions & M&A Tracker: Deal Data

---

Acquisitions and mergers. Each record has the acquirer, target, deal value, payment type, and date. Every deal is matched across the outlets that reported it, with both sides resolved to canonical companies, so you get one row per deal instead of one per article. Set your filters, run it, and pay only for the records you get back. No API key, no signup, no sales call.

Use it for acquisitions data, M&A data, mergers and acquisitions API, deal data, company acquisition signals.

What you get

Every record carries all of the below. The table view shows the columns that scan best; the full record is in the JSON, CSV, and Excel exports.

• Acquirer and target. both sides come as a full company: name, domain, description, LinkedIn URL and handle, HQ city and country, industry group, industry sub-tags, verticals, employee count, founded year, and business model.
• Deal. amount in USD, the original currency and amount as reported, payment type, whether it was a merger, announced date, closing date, and the date we first saw it.
• Sources. every article that reported the deal, with its URL, so any figure can be traced back to the article that reported it.

Results export to JSON, CSV, or Excel, or stream straight to your database via the Apify API.

Common use cases

• Sales and prospecting. Find accounts that just raised, and reach them while the news is fresh.
• Market research. Track acquisitions by industry, country, and date.
• Data enrichment. Add acquisitions to your CRM or warehouse.
• Deal sourcing. Scan new activity, for investors and corp dev teams.

Filters

FAQ

What data does this actor return?

Acquisitions and mergers. Each record has the acquirer, target, deal value, payment type, and date. Fields: Acquirer, Target, Deal (USD), Payment, Announced, Merger, Target country, Target industry, Target employees, Acquirer LinkedIn. Each one is matched to a canonical company.

Is this a Crunchbase, PitchBook, or Coresignal alternative?

Yes. It is a self-serve, API-first alternative to Crunchbase, PitchBook, Coresignal, and Harmonic. You pay per result, with no annual contract and no sales call.

How fresh is the data?

Most records are available the same day they are announced. Across the last 30 days, the median gap between a public announcement and the record being available was under one day.

Can I monitor acquisitions on a schedule?

Yes. Save your filters as a task and use Apify's scheduler to run it daily or weekly. Each run stores a NEXT_CURSOR. Pass it to the next run to pick up where the last one stopped, so you only pay for records you have not seen yet.

Some records have an empty field. Can I still get those?

Yes. Not every announcement states every detail, and where a value was never disclosed the field is left empty rather than guessed. Filters that can be empty offer a Not disclosed option (HQ country and industry, plus funding round where it applies). Select it to include those records instead of dropping them from a filtered run.

How is the data deduplicated?

Each real-world event is matched across every outlet that reported it and resolved to one canonical company (and investors), so you never get the same round or deal twice.

How do I get the next batch of records?

Each run saves a NEXT_CURSOR to its key-value store. Pass it as the cursor input on the next run to continue where you left off. For new records over time, use the since filter.

Is there a free way to try it?

Yes. Run it here and pay only for the records you get back, or go direct at datahyena.com with 50 free credits.

Can I get this data over an API instead?

Yes. Datahyena is API-first: REST, webhooks, or MCP (Claude, Cursor, Codex). This actor is the Apify-native way to run it.

Use it in your own stack

For ongoing use it is cheaper and more flexible to go direct: REST, webhooks, and MCP, with subscription pricing and 50 free credits to start.
