Turn the TinySeed portfolio into a company dataset in one run

🗂️ TinySeed Scraper reads the live TinySeed portfolio, keeps each company description, and can enrich company websites for emails in the same run.

Fastest way to try it

Start with the shipped maxNbItemsToScrape: 25 starter input, leave shouldScrapeEmails on if you want website contacts in the same run, and inspect the first dataset rows in the Output tab.

Why people use it

• 🗂️ Turn the live TinySeed portfolio into a reusable company dataset instead of copy-pasting cards by hand.
• 📝 Keep the descriptions, not just the URLs, so downstream analysis still has context.
• 📬 Add contact paths by enriching company sites for emails without wiring up a second tool.
• 🔢 Start with a small company limit for validation, then remove it when you want the full portfolio.
• 🌐 Run it inside Apify with proxy support instead of building your own scraping runtime around this source.

How to use in 3 simple steps

1. Open the Input tab and use the shipped maxNbItemsToScrape: 25 starter cap for a quick first run, or set 0 when you want the full portfolio.
2. Leave shouldScrapeEmails on if you want website emails, or turn it off when you only want the portfolio dataset.
3. Run the actor, then use the Output tab or API to pull the company dataset into your own workflow.

Inputs, defaults, and behavior

• 🗂️ The actor reads the live TinySeed portfolio summary blocks directly.
• 🔢 The Input tab prefills maxNbItemsToScrape: 25 for a quick starter run, while omitted API input and explicit 0 both scrape the full portfolio.
• 📬 shouldScrapeEmails defaults to true, and email enrichment is deduplicated per normalized company URL.
• 📝 description is a first-class field because it is one of the strongest signals TinySeed exposes on the portfolio page.
• 🚫 There is no promoted-listing toggle here because TinySeed is an organic portfolio source, not a paid ranking surface.
• 📄 listingUrl, tagline, and isPromotedListing are null by design because TinySeed does not expose those fields for this actor's contract.
• 📝 name stays null when TinySeed does not provide a company title, instead of guessing.
• ⚠️ If email enrichment fails for one company, that company is still emitted with emails: [].
• 🌐 Supports Apify proxy configuration, including direct mode when needed.

What data can TinySeed Scraper extract?

See the full Output tab for the complete schema.

Field	What you get	Why it matters
url	The company's own website URL	Use it for enrichment, joins, or follow-up crawls
name	The company name when TinySeed exposes it	Identify the company without reopening the portfolio
description	The portfolio description text	Keep business context in the dataset
emails	Website emails when enrichment is on	Add contact paths in the same run
isPromotedListing	Always null for this source	Makes it explicit that promoted listings do not apply here

Output example

[
  {
    "url": "https://acme.dev/",
    "listingUrl": null,
    "name": "Acme Dev",
    "tagline": null,
    "description": "Acme Dev helps small teams monitor product reliability without building a full internal platform.",
    "isPromotedListing": null,
    "contacts": [],
    "emails": [
      "hello@acme.dev"
    ]
  }
]

How much does TinySeed scraping cost?

This actor uses price-per-result billing, so the main cost driver is how many company rows it emits. A first run with the shipped maxNbItemsToScrape: 25 starter input is about $0.25 at the current repo-configured rate. At that same repo-configured rate, 100 company rows is about $1.00. The live Pricing tab is the source of truth for the exact current rate.

Billed item	When it triggers	Repo-configured price
Company result	When one TinySeed company row is pushed to the dataset	$0.01

Why run TinySeed Scraper on Apify?

• 🗂️ Run it from the Console or call it from the Apify API when TinySeed data is one input in a larger system.
• 🔢 Schedule repeat runs instead of revisiting the portfolio manually.
• 📝 Keep datasets and run logs together when you want to inspect skipped companies or replay the scrape later.
• 🌐 Use Apify proxy settings and platform orchestration without building your own scraping runtime around this source.

FAQ

Why is there no promoted-listing toggle?

TinySeed is an organic portfolio surface, not a paid ranking page, so promoted listings do not apply to this actor.

Why can name be null?

Some TinySeed cards omit the title attribute the actor uses for name. When that happens, the actor keeps name: null instead of inventing a value.

What happens if email enrichment fails for one company?

The company is still emitted, and its emails field is an empty array for that row.

Can I scrape the full portfolio?

Yes. Omit maxNbItemsToScrape in API input or set it to 0.

What should I try if the output looks incomplete or a run fails?

First verify maxNbItemsToScrape and remember that name can be null for some cards by design. Re-run with a smaller limit like 10, then check the run log and the affected portfolio card before opening an issue.

Where do I report a missing field, broken company card, or source-site change?

Open the Issues page with the company URL or TinySeed card you tested, the input you used, and the output you expected. I use that queue for fixes and feature requests.
