The sitemap currently lists six annual report editions (2020-2025). A full run completes in under 30 seconds.

How It Works

1. Fetches https://www.atlantico.vc/sitemap.xml (flat urlset) and filters for annual report URLs
2. Crawls each matching page with CheerioCrawler (no proxy required — site returns HTTP 200 for all agents)
3. Extracts: .report-title, .color-white-80 (date), .highlight-wrp cards (titles + descriptions), .download-btn (DocSend link), meta description
4. Report year is parsed from the URL path

No proxy, no CF bypass, no authentication required.

Notes

• highlights and highlight_details are newline-joined parallel arrays — split on \n to get individual insight pairs
• The 2025 edition uses a newer page layout where highlight text is rendered inside images; that page returns null for highlights
• pdf_url links to DocSend (gated viewer), not a direct PDF download
• Atlantico publishes new editions annually (typically September) — re-run to capture the latest
