How Owler Company Competitor Intel Scraper Works

1. Give it specific company URLs, or leave the input blank
2. With no companyUrls, it walks Owler's company directory and pulls profiles up to your maxItems limit
3. Each profile page is parsed for firmographics, the competitor list, and recent news
4. Records land in your dataset as clean, flat JSON — competitor names and headlines included as plain strings, not nested objects you have to unpack

Input

Default — crawl broadly:

{
  "maxItems": 25
}

Look up specific companies:

{
  "companyUrls": [
    "https://www.owler.com/company/openai",
    "https://www.owler.com/company/anthropic2"
  ],
  "maxItems": 10
}

Field	Type	Default	Description
maxItems	integer	10	Maximum number of company profiles to return.
companyUrls	array of strings	(none)	Specific Owler company profile URLs to scrape (e.g. https://www.owler.com/company/openai). Leave empty to crawl broadly instead.
resumeCursor	string	(none)	Continue a previous run without paying again for records you already received. See Resuming a large crawl below.

Resuming a large crawl

Every run emits a resumeCursor in its Output. If a large crawl stops before it finishes — because it hit maxItems, your spend cap (maxTotalChargeUsd), or was aborted — start a new run with the same input plus that resumeCursor to continue from where it left off. The crawl resumes from the queued work the previous run didn't reach.

• You are not re-charged for records the earlier run already delivered.
• Resume within your account's run-retention window — on the free tier, roughly your 10 most recent runs. Once the source run is pruned, its resumeCursor is no longer valid.
• resumeCursor is opaque — supply it unmodified.

FAQ

Does this actor need an Owler account or API key?

No. Point it at a company and it returns the profile — no login, no API key.

Can I look up a single company instead of crawling broadly?

Yes. Pass one or more URLs in companyUrls and it scrapes exactly those profiles, nothing more.

How many competitors does each record include?

However many Owler lists on the profile — commonly a dozen or more, each with its own Owler URL so you can chain lookups.

What happens if a company profile has incomplete data?

Owler itself doesn't always have every field for every company (funding is a common gap for private companies with no disclosed rounds). Missing fields come back empty rather than guessed.
