Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Crunchbase Scraper Extract public Crunchbase company data without a login. Give it company names or organization links and it returns a clean company profile plus the company's funding rounds. Pagination is walked automatically up to the limit you set. ### What it does - **Company profile** by name or organization link. Description, website, social links, location, categories, founded date, operating status, company type, employee range, revenue range, and headline funding figures. - **Funding rounds** for each company. Date, round type, amount raised, valuations, lead investors, and all investors, walked across pages up to your limit. No account, no password, no API key. Give it a company name (Acme Co), an organization URL, or a bare organization slug, and it returns structured rows. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `companies` | array | Company names or Crunchbase organization links to look up. Accepts a name, an organization URL, or a bare slug. | | `maxFundingRounds` | integer | Cap on funding rounds returned per company. Default 100. | | `includeFundingRounds` | boolean | Include the funding-rounds list per company. Turn off for profile-only output. | | `concurrency` | integer | Companies processed in parallel. Default 5. | | `proxyConfig` | object | Proxy used for requests. Residential is recommended. | #### Example input ```json { "companies": [ "Acme Co", "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/example-co", "example-startup" ], "maxFundingRounds": 200, "includeFundingRounds": true } ```` ### Output One row per company, with funding rounds nested inside: ```json { "type": "company", "name": "Acme Co", "url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/example-co", "shortDescription": "An example company.", "websiteUrl": "https://example.com", "linkedinUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/example-co", "country": "United States", "city": "San Francisco", "categories": ["Software", "Analytics"], "foundedOn": "2015-01-01", "operatingStatus": "active", "employeeRange": "101-250", "fundingTotalUsd": 45000000, "fundingStage": "series_b", "lastFundingType": "series_b", "lastFundingAt": "2024-03-01", "numFundingRounds": 4, "numInvestors": 12, "founders": ["Jane Doe"], "fundingRounds": [ { "name": "Series B - Acme Co", "announcedOn": "2024-03-01", "investmentType": "series_b", "moneyRaisedUsd": 30000000, "moneyRaisedCurrency": "USD", "numInvestors": 5, "leadInvestors": ["Acme Ventures"], "investors": ["Acme Ventures", "Example Capital"] } ], "scrapedAt": "2026-06-18T00:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Notes - Funding figures and counts reflect the values at scrape time. - `maxFundingRounds` walks as many pages as needed to reach your target. - A company that cannot be found returns a row with `ok: false` and a `not_found` reason, so a single bad input never fails the run. - Routing requests through a residential proxy is recommended for reliable access. To improve our actors we collect anonymized usage telemetry (run stats and input patterns). No personal account data is collected. # Actor input Schema ## `companies` (type: `array`): Company names or Crunchbase organization links to look up. Accepts a company name (Acme Co), an organization URL (https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/example-co), or a bare organization slug (example-co). ## `maxFundingRounds` (type: `integer`): Cap on funding rounds returned per company. Pagination is walked across multiple pages until this is reached or the company's rounds are exhausted. ## `includeFundingRounds` (type: `boolean`): When on, each company row includes its list of funding rounds (date, type, amount, investors). Turn off for profile-only output. ## `concurrency` (type: `integer`): How many companies to process in parallel. ## `proxyConfig` (type: `object`): Proxy used for requests. Residential proxy is recommended for reliable access. ## Actor input object example ```json { "companies": [ "Acme Co" ], "maxFundingRounds": 100, "includeFundingRounds": true, "concurrency": 5, "proxyConfig": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `companies` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "companies": [ "Acme Co" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("goat255/crunchbase-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
