Y Combinator Scraper
Pricing
from $2.00 / 1,000 companies
The Y Combinator Scraper exports the YC startup directory and Work at a Startup jobs — companies filtered by batch, industry, region, status and hiring, with founders, socials, team size, open roles, salaries and equity — and can track what changed since thelast run.
Companies returns one row per YC company matching the filters. Jobs returns one row per open role at the hiring companies matching the same filters.
Optional free-text search over company names, descriptions and tags, exactly like the search box on the YC directory (e.g. AI agents, fintech, Berlin).
Limit to these YC batches. Either form works: Summer 2026 or S26, Winter 2025 or W25, Fall 2026 or F26, Spring 2026 or X26. Leave empty for all batches.
Limit to these industries or sub-industries as named on the directory, e.g. B2B, Fintech, Healthcare, Consumer, Industrials, B2B -> Infrastructure.
Limit to companies based in these regions or countries as named on the directory, e.g. United States of America, Europe, India, Remote.
Limit to companies with this status.
Only companies currently marked as hiring on the directory. Jobs mode always uses hiring companies.
Only companies on YC's Top Companies list.
Jobs mode only. Keep roles in this category.
Jobs mode only. Keep roles whose location mentions this text, e.g. San Francisco, New York, London, Remote.
Open each company page for founders (names, titles, bios, LinkedIn/X), LinkedIn, X, Crunchbase and GitHub links, year founded, launches and press — or each job page for the full description and interview process. Slower and priced as a detail row.
The first run saves a snapshot and returns the rows as usual. Every later run with the same filters and memory name returns only what changed: new companies or jobs (full rows), changed company fields (team size, status, hiring, stage, tags, one-liner, location, website) and companies or jobs that disappeared. Schedule the run to get a change feed.
Runs that share this name compare against the same saved snapshot. Use a different name for each set of filters you track.
