Tiny Startups Scraper

🚀 Turn Tiny Startups listings into research-ready data

Tiny Startups Scraper helps founders, researchers, marketers, and sales teams collect public Tiny Startups launches and deals as structured rows. Choose one weekly, archive, all-time, daily, deals, or keyword-search surface per run, then export startup links, ranks, upvotes, creator details, offer data, and public website emails when found.

• Tiny Startups lead generation — build a startup list with websites, categories, launch dates, creators, and available public emails.
• Tiny Startups market research — compare names, descriptions, ranks, upvotes, verification signals, and source links from one selected surface.
• Startup launch monitoring — schedule the same feed to follow newly visible launches over time.
• Startup niche tracking — search Tiny Startups for a market keyword such as ai or developer tools.
• Tiny Startups deals research — collect offer headlines, codes, terms, and expiration times when exposed.

📦 Data you can get

Each saved row is either a startup/launch or a deal. The rowType field distinguishes the two shapes.

• Startup identity: startupId, name, tagline, and description.
• Source context: sourceMode, listingUrl, category, rank, upvoteCount, launchDate, and available verification, promotion, paid-listing, and backlink indicators.
• Website details: websiteUrl and public emails discovered automatically on the startup's own website.
• Creator details: name, username, Tiny Startups profile URL, and X URL when exposed.
• Deal details: dealId, headline, code, type, description, and expiration time.
• Media references: logoUrl and featuredImageUrl when exposed.

Unavailable optional values remain null or []; the Actor does not invent missing source data or email addresses.

🚀 Running the Actor

1. Open the Input tab.
2. Choose one Target. For a first run, keep This week's launches.
3. Keep Maximum listings at the prefilled value for a bounded run, or set it to 0 for every available listing on the selected target.
4. Leave Include promoted listings off for listings not explicitly marked as promoted or paid.
5. Run the Actor and open the dataset or export it through the Apify API.

For a search run, choose Keyword search and provide one or more search keywords. Email discovery is automatic; not finding an email does not remove an otherwise valid listing.

Field	Type	Description	Default
target	string	One surface per run: weekly, archive, allTime, today, deals, or search.	Required; prefilled weekly
searchQueries	string[]	One or more keywords used only with the search target.	Empty
maxNbItemsToScrape	integer	Maximum listings saved across the run. Use 0 for every available listing on the selected target.	0; prefilled 30
shouldIncludePromotedListings	boolean	Include startup rows Tiny Startups explicitly identifies as promoted or paid.	false

💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged for each successful listing saved to the default dataset. Skipped promoted listings, invalid or unavailable source entries, failed email lookups, and searches that save no listings do not create listing charges.

Public website email discovery is included in the listing charge. A startup can still be saved with emails: [] when no public email is found.

🔌 Integrations

• Export the Apify dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML.
• Call the Actor through the Apify API from your application or pipeline.
• Schedule recurring runs for a chosen feed or search.
• Use Apify webhooks to notify downstream workflows when a run finishes.

❓ FAQ

Can I search for more than one keyword in a run?

Yes. Choose Keyword search and add multiple values to Search keywords. They form one search target and share the same run-wide listing limit; duplicate listings are saved once.

Can I collect only deals?

Yes. Set Target to Exclusive deals. You can also enable Include deal listings with another target, but all saved rows share the same limit.

Can I exclude promoted listings?

Yes. They are excluded by default when Tiny Startups explicitly marks a startup listing as promoted or paid. Enable Include promoted listings to retain those startup rows.

What happens when no public email is found?

The startup or deal row can still be saved with emails: []. Email discovery is best-effort enrichment, not a requirement for a valid listing.

Does this Actor need a Tiny Startups account or API key?

No. It reads publicly accessible Tiny Startups data and does not ask for Tiny Startups credentials, cookies, or a source API key.

Can one run collect every Tiny Startups feed?

No. Choose one primary surface per run. The optional deal switch can add deal rows alongside that surface, and multiple keywords are supported within the search target.

Why use this instead of a source API?

The Actor provides normalized dataset rows, export formats, API access, schedules, and webhooks around public Tiny Startups data without requiring a source API key.
