LATAM Funding Scraper Features

• Pulls funding rounds from two complementary LATAM news sources — LatamList and Contxto — in one run
• Returns funding amount in both human-readable form ($5M) and parsed number (5.0 for $5M, 1200.0 for $1.2B)
• Captures lead investor and participating investors as separate fields
• Sector and round stage parsed out of article body — Fintech, HealthTech, AI, Logistics, Seed, Series A, B, C
• Filter by country to pull deal flow for a single market
• No proxy required — both sources are publicly accessible

How the LATAM Funding Scraper Works

1. Pick a source — all for LatamList + Contxto, or either site solo.
2. Article crawl — The scraper walks each source's funding feed, deduplicates by URL, and pulls each article body.
3. Structured parsing — Company name, country, sector, round stage, amount, and investors are extracted from the article with site-specific selectors and pattern matching.
4. Export — One record per funding round in your Apify dataset.

FAQ

How do I track LATAM startup funding without a research subscription?

LATAM Funding Scraper pulls from LatamList and Contxto, the two most active English-language LATAM funding desks. Set the source to all, optionally filter by country, and run. New rounds land in your dataset as soon as they're posted.

How much does this actor cost to run?

LATAM Funding Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing on the default_2603_basic profile at a 1.0x coefficient. No proxy fees. A 200-round monthly digest costs cents in platform fees.

Can I filter by sector or round size?

LATAM Funding Scraper exposes country and source filters at input. Sector and round size are returned as structured fields (sector, amount_usd_number), so a one-line downstream filter slices the dataset by Fintech, Series A+, or any combination.

What countries does this cover?

LATAM Funding Scraper covers everything LatamList and Contxto report on — primarily Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Uruguay, and Costa Rica. Use the country filter to narrow to one market.

Does this actor need proxies?

LATAM Funding Scraper runs proxy-free. Both source sites serve traffic publicly and don't rate-limit at the volumes this actor produces.

Why Use LATAM Funding Scraper?

• Two sources, one schema — LatamList and Contxto often cover different deals. Running both and deduplicating by URL gets you broader coverage than either alone.
• Amount in both shapes — amount_usd as the published string and amount_usd_number as parsed millions. Pick the one you need downstream — most pipelines want the number.
• Lead vs participating split — Lead investor is separate from the rest, which matters when you're tracking who's actually setting valuations in the region.
