How F6S Scraper Works

1. Choose programs or investors, and add any filters: country, sector, name keyword, deadline status
2. The scraper collects every matching entry from F6S
3. Each record carries the name, location, investment terms, deadline, and apply link (programs) or the cheque size and focus sectors (investors)
4. Results come back as clean JSON, up to your maxItems limit or until there are no more matches

Input

{
  "entityType": "programs",
  "country": "United States",
  "sector": "FinTech",
  "deadlineOnly": true,
  "maxItems": 50,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  }
}

Field	Type	Default	Description
entityType	String	programs	What to scrape: programs (accelerators/competitions/grants) or investors. Startups are not available at the moment
country	String	(all)	Only records for this country, for example United States, Germany or Singapore. For investors, those who back startups there
sector	String	(all)	Only records in this industry, for example FinTech, HealthTech or Artificial Intelligence
deadlineOnly	Boolean	false	Programs only: include only entries with upcoming application deadlines
keyword	String	(none)	Only records whose name contains this text are returned, ignoring case (e.g. Microsoft for Startups)
maxItems	Integer	10	Max records to return. Set to 0 for unlimited

Older tasks: the programType and stages fields no longer filter anything, because F6S lists neither a program type nor a funding stage. Tasks that still set them stop with a message that says so, instead of returning rows that ignore the setting. To find a kind of program use keyword, for example incubator or hackathon.

Additional Input Examples

Scrape investors who back startups in Germany:

{
  "entityType": "investors",
  "country": "Germany",
  "maxItems": 100
}

Scrape investors, no filter:

{
  "entityType": "investors",
  "maxItems": 200
}

🔍 FAQ

How do I scrape accelerators from F6S?

Set entityType to programs, optionally add filters for country or sector, and set a maxItems limit. F6S Scraper returns the matching programs as clean JSON.

How much does F6S Scraper cost to run?

F6S Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing: $0.10 per actor start plus $0.001 per record. Scraping 1,000 accelerator listings costs roughly $1.10.

fetchDetails is off by default. Switching it on visits each program's profile page to fill program_website, and each program that comes back with a website adds one premium event ($0.002) on top of its record charge. 1,000 programs with details cost roughly $3.10. Subscribers on higher Apify plans pay discounted per-record and premium rates.

Can I filter by deadline?

Yes. Set deadlineOnly: true to return only programs that show an application deadline. This filter applies to programs only.

How many records are available on F6S?

F6S lists nearly 15,000 programs and about 200 investment funds. The count shifts as programs open and close. Set maxItems: 0 to pull everything in a single run.

Why Use F6S Scraper?

• Nearly 15,000 programs covered: F6S is the largest global accelerator directory, and this scraper reaches all of it in a single run
• Two entity types, one actor: programs and investment funds from the same database, switched with one input field rather than separate tools
• Filtered results: country, sector, name, and deadline filters narrow the results, so you only download and pay for what you need
