European Startup Funding Tracker

Clean, structured European startup funding rounds from EU-Startups' public feed — one record per deal, extracted from feed fields only. The article page is never fetched, so members-only ("CLUB") article bodies stay closed; any field the feed does not carry is left null.

Each funding_round record carries: company, the full headline, amount (value + currency + how it appeared), round stage, location/country, investors named in the excerpt, announcement time, source, and the canonical article link.

What it does

• Reads the EU-Startups public RSS feed and keeps only genuine funding rounds — a headline with a raise verb and a parseable amount. Weekly round-up posts, paywalled stubs with no amount, and non-funding posts (acquisitions, opinion) are skipped and never billed.
• Collapses the same deal to one record (cross-source safe: company + amount + day).
• Lets you bound a run by count (maxRecords) or by filters (minAmount, currencies, locationContains).
• Reads feed fields only — it never opens the article page, so it honours members-only paywalls.
• If the feed is unreachable or unparseable it stops loudly — a broken source is never delivered as an empty success.

Pricing

Event	Price (USD)
apify-actor-start	$0.02
funding_round_record	$0.05

apify-actor-start is charged once per run by the platform. funding_round_record is charged once per unique funding round delivered, and drops with volume ($0.05 → $0.045 → $0.04 → $0.0335). Duplicates, filtered-out rounds, paywalled stubs, and non-funding posts bill nothing; a source outage bills nothing.

Input

• maxRecords — cap on funding records delivered (buyer-requested bound; default 100).
• minAmount — minimum round amount, in the round's own currency (amounts are not FX-converted).
• currencies — restrict to currency codes (e.g. EUR, USD).
• locationContains — restrict to matching locations/country tags (e.g. Germany).
• minRequestIntervalSec — self-throttle between requests (default 1s).

Notes

Amounts are reported as published, in the round's own currency, and are not converted between currencies. Company and location are best-effort parses of the headline; the full title is always retained so nothing is lost.
