Owler Company Scraper — B2B Intelligence, Revenue, Competitors, Funding

Also known as: Owler scraper · company profile scraper · B2B firmographics · competitive intelligence feed · competitor analysis tool · revenue lookup · employee count scraper · funding round tracker.

What does Owler Company Scraper do?

v2.0 — live discovery + 6 sector presets — pick a sector preset (no URL hunting), recursive Owler competitor-graph traversal at runtime (no stale snapshots), plus full M&A history, news timeline, executive team, quarterly revenue, momentum, and corporate investment portfolio per company.

Owler Company Scraper scrapes Owler.com public company profile pages and returns structured business intelligence as clean JSON — an affordable, no-code-friendly, no-contract alternative to Owler Pro and Owler's enterprise data APIs. For any list of companies (by URL or slug) — or any curated sector preset — it pulls:

• Firmographics: revenue (raw + formatted + range), employee count + range, full address (street, city, state, country, zip), year founded, industry + broad industry taxonomy, legal name
• Competitors: ranked list with proximity scores + per-competitor revenue, employees, HQ — Owler's most valuable signal for competitive intelligence
• Leadership: full executive team array (CEO, CTO, CFO, etc.) with designations, photos, LinkedIn, Twitter — not just the CEO
• M&A history: complete acquisition timeline per company — date, target acquired, source news URLs
• News & event timeline (keyHighlights): typed events per company — AI announcements, product launches, investments, partnerships, info leaks — 8 items each
• Quarterly revenue history & momentum signals (premium Owler signal): last 4 quarters of reported revenue + revenue/employee trend percentage with direction — usually behind the Owler Pro paywall
• Corporate investment portfolio (distinct from M&A): corporate VC-style investments this company has made into others, with amount, date, and target — separate from acquisitions
• SIC industry codes: official Standard Industrial Classification codes for enterprise / KYC / regulatory workflows
• Funding rounds: dates, amounts, round type, named investors with Owler profile URLs
• Social profiles: LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram
• Contact: website, business summary, parent company

Output is clean JSON — ready for CRM, dashboards, Slack alerts, LLM context, Make/Zapier/n8n pipelines. Use it for B2B sales prospecting, competitive intelligence, M&A target research, VC sourcing, PR/news monitoring, investment signal tracking, or building a company knowledge graph at scale.

Quick start — 3 copy-paste recipes

Open the Actor's Input tab in Apify Console, switch to JSON / Editor, paste one of these, click Start.

1) Single company quick lookup (~$0.004)

{
  "companyUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.owler.com/company/apify" }],
  "maxResults": 1
}

2) Competitor map (10 companies + their competitor lists) (~$0.04)

{
  "companyUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.owler.com/company/apify" },
    { "url": "https://www.owler.com/company/bright-data" },
    { "url": "https://www.owler.com/company/scrapingbee" },
    { "url": "https://www.owler.com/company/zyte" },
    { "url": "https://www.owler.com/company/octoparse" }
  ],
  "includeCompetitors": true,
  "maxResults": 5
}

3) Sales prospect enrichment — 100 target accounts (~$0.40)

{
  "companyUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.owler.com/company/your-target-1" }
  ],
  "includeCompetitors": false,
  "includeFunding": true,
  "maxResults": 100
}

(Provide your full list of 100 URLs in companyUrls.)

Quick start without Owler URLs

Don't have a list of Owler slugs handy? Pick a sector preset from the Quick start dropdown. The Actor starts from ~20 hand-picked anchor companies per sector and recursively traces Owler's competitor graph at runtime — every run reflects today's market, not a frozen snapshot from a year ago. No URL hunting, no slug guesswork — just pick a sector, set maxResults, and click Start.

SaaS — quick lookup, top 100 profiles (~$0.40)

{ "preset": "saas", "maxResults": 100 }

Fintech — wider market sweep, 1,000 profiles (~$4)

{ "preset": "fintech", "maxResults": 1000, "presetDepth": 2 }

Gaming — deep crawl, 10,000 profiles (~$40)

{ "preset": "gaming", "maxResults": 10000, "presetDepth": 3 }

Available presets (live): saas, fintech, ai-ml, ecommerce, gaming, crypto-web3. Each ships with ~20 curated anchor companies plus a sector-keyword whitelist that filters out off-topic drift during recursive traversal.

You can also combine a preset with your own URLs in companyUrls — they merge and dedupe automatically. At least one of preset or companyUrls must be provided.

How preset mode works

1. Anchors — each preset starts from ~20 hand-picked sector leaders (curated, trusted, never filtered).
2. Recursive competitor graph — every anchor's top competitors are enqueued, then their competitors, up to presetDepth levels deep (default 2). Crawlee deduplicates automatically.
3. Industry-keyword filter — discovered companies (depth > 0) must match the preset's sector-keyword whitelist on industry / industrySectors. This blocks recursive drift (e.g. a gaming preset wandering into Tencent → Alibaba → Amazon).
4. Today's market, not last year's — because traversal happens at runtime, new acquisitions, new sector entrants, and graph rearrangements are picked up automatically.

Why use Owler Company Scraper?

• B2B sales enrichment — turn a list of company names into rich profiles (employees, revenue, industry, full address, executive team contacts) in seconds.
• Competitive intelligence — pull each prospect's competitor list with proximity scores + per-competitor firmographics to map markets instantly.
• M&A target research — full acquisition history per company (date, target, source URLs) — identify serial acquirers, hot M&A sectors, recent activity.
• VC / investment signal tracking — funding rounds with named investors and their Owler profile URLs; map who is backing whom across your watchlist.
• PR / news monitoring — keyHighlights returns typed news/event timelines (AI launches, product releases, partnerships, info leaks) — feed into Slack/email alerts without scraping news sites separately.
• Leadership intelligence — full executive arrays with LinkedIn/Twitter for ABM personalization, recruiting, and decision-maker mapping.
• CRM hygiene — bulk-refresh stale company records (HubSpot, Salesforce) with current firmographics, ranges, and address blocks.
• Account-based marketing — segment ICPs by revenue range, employee range, industry, geography (state/country) and personalize at scale.
• LLM context — feed structured company data + news timeline + leadership into RAG pipelines for sales/marketing co-pilots.

How to use

1. Open the Actor's Input tab in the Apify Console.
2. Either pick a sector preset from the Quick start dropdown (e.g. saas, fintech, gaming) or paste your own list of Owler URLs / slugs in Company URLs (one per line). Example: https://www.owler.com/company/apify or just apify. You can also combine both — they merge and dedupe.
3. Tune Preset depth (1-4, default 2) to control how deep the competitor-graph traversal goes. Deeper = more companies discovered but longer runtime.
4. Toggle Include competitors / funding / social as needed (all on by default).
5. Set Max results to control cost (default 100, max 100,000).
6. Click Start. Dataset populates in real time.
7. Download as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, RSS, or XML from the Dataset tab.

Input

{
  "preset": "saas",
  "companyUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.owler.com/company/apify" },
    { "url": "https://www.owler.com/company/airbus" }
  ],
  "presetDepth": 2,
  "includeCompetitors": true,
  "includeFunding": true,
  "includeSocial": true,
  "maxResults": 100,
  "maxConcurrency": 10
}

All fields are optional with sensible defaults — but at least one of preset or companyUrls must be provided.

Key fields:

• preset (string) — sector preset key: saas, fintech, ai-ml, ecommerce, gaming, crypto-web3. Combine with companyUrls if you want; they merge and dedupe.
• presetDepth (1-4, default 2) — how many levels deep the competitor-graph traversal goes from each anchor. 1 = anchors + their direct competitors. 2 = + competitors-of-competitors (good default). 3-4 = wider but slower.
• maxResults (default 100, max 100,000) — hard cap on dataset items. At $4/1K profiles, 10K ≈ $40, 100K ≈ $400 — set this consciously.
• maxConcurrency (default 10, max 50) — parallel request budget. Cheerio + Crawlee gotScraping handles ~200 results/min at default; bump toward 50 for the largest runs (memory permitting).

Each dataset row represents one company profile. Example (Sony) showing the v1.9 enriched fields:

Pricing / Cost estimation

This Actor uses pay-per-result pricing: $4 per 1,000 company profiles (~$0.004 per company). Owler does not charge a third-party fee; you only pay Apify for data processing and proxy.

v2.0 doesn't change pricing — still $4/1K. The extra Owler-Pro signals (quarterly revenue, momentum, corporate investments, SIC codes) come from the same SSR state, no extra crawl, no per-field surcharge.

Apify's free tier includes $5/month of platform credits — covers ~1,250 company profiles/month before you pay anything.

Performance

v2.0 uses CheerioCrawler (not a browser) — Owler's profile data is server-side rendered into __NEXT_DATA__, so no JS rendering is needed and Crawlee's gotScraping handles Akamai bot defense at the HTTP layer. Raise maxConcurrency for larger runs (memory permitting).

Typical run costs

• Single company lookup: ~$0.004
• 100 profiles (preset saas): ~$0.40
• 1,000 profiles (preset fintech + presetDepth: 2): ~$4
• 10,000 profiles (preset gaming + presetDepth: 3): ~$40
• CRM enrichment, 100 accounts (your own URLs): ~$0.40
• Competitive map (50 companies + their top-20 competitors): ~$0.20-0.40

Tips

• Bulk enrichment: paste a .txt file of one URL per line into the Company URLs field — Apify accepts files in requestListSources.
• Disable competitors / funding / social if you only need basic firmographics — speeds up and reduces parsing overhead (cost unchanged).
• Concurrency: default 10 is balanced. Bump to 25-50 for the largest runs (memory permitting); drop to 3-5 if you hit rate limits.
• Preset depth: start with the default 2. Bump to 3 only when you genuinely need a deeper market sweep — every level multiplies the discovery pool but also runtime and cost.
• Schedule with Apify Scheduler to refresh your top 1,000 prospects weekly — typical $4-16/month.

FAQ

Is there a cheaper way to get Owler data than Owler's own API? Owler's firmographic/competitor/news APIs are gated behind Owler Pro / Enterprise plans (annual contracts). This Actor is a pay-as-you-go alternative — it parses Owler's public profile pages and returns the same publicly visible data as structured JSON via the Apify API, with no subscription or contract.

Is Owler data publicly accessible? Yes — Owler company profile pages are public. This Actor only reads publicly available HTML pages, no login required. Always verify usage complies with Owler's Terms of Service for your specific use case.

Why is some data missing for certain companies? Owler's data depth varies: private small companies often lack revenue/funding data; public companies are usually well-populated. Missing fields return as null.

What about Owler's premium fields (CIQ score, sentiment)? v1.9 extracts publicly visible fields only — including SSR-rendered data on the public profile pages (firmographics, M&A history, news timeline keyHighlights, executive team, named investors). Premium-tier fields behind the Owler login wall (CIQ score, sentiment, full news feed) are not in scope.
