Crunchbase Scraper: 130+ Fields, No API Key

Give this Actor a Crunchbase company URL and get back everything on the page as structured data: funding, investors, founders, employees, contacts, acquisitions, tech stack, web traffic, and news. Export it as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

You don't need a Crunchbase API key, a Pro subscription, or a login. You pay for the companies you scrape, nothing else.

Before you start: this Actor reads known company pages. You give it Crunchbase company URLs (or names and domains) and get back 130+ fields per company. It won't discover companies for you, so if you want something like "all Series A SaaS companies in the US," read "I don't have a list of URLs" in the FAQ first.

Why this instead of the Crunchbase API

Crunchbase removed its free API tier in 2025. The official API now starts around $49/month (Basic) and climbs from there, with rate limits and an approval process. For most teams that just need clean company data, that's overkill.

	Official Crunchbase API	This Actor
API key / approval	Required	Not needed
Subscription	$49-99+/month	Pay per company scraped
Setup	API keys, auth, code	Paste URLs, click Start
Fields per company	Varies by plan	130+
Export formats	JSON	JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, JSONL, RSS
Anti-blocking	N/A	Built in (handles Cloudflare)

What you get

Each company comes back as one record with 130+ fields. The main groups:

• Firmographics: name, legal name, description, website, founded date, company type, operating status, IPO status, HQ location and regions.
• Funding: total funding in USD, number of rounds, last funding type and date, plus a breakdown of every round (amount, date, lead investors).
• Investors: each investor, who led, the rounds they joined, and the partners involved.
• People: founders, featured employees, advisors, and board members, with roles and Crunchbase profile links.
• Contacts: names, LinkedIn URLs, job titles, seniority, and departments.
• Acquisitions: companies it bought (with prices where Crunchbase has them), and who bought it if it was acquired.
• Web and tech signals: SEMrush rank and monthly visits, BuiltWith technologies, Apptopia app downloads, IPqwery patents and trademarks, Aberdeen IT-spend estimates.
• Market context: similar companies, categories, sub-organizations, recent news, growth insight, and a full timeline of funding, acquisitions, and press.
• Social: LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and Facebook URLs.

There's a full field reference at the bottom. Either way, look at the example output before you kick off a paid run.

Quickstart (under a minute)

1. Add companies. Paste one or more Crunchbase organization URLs into Company URLs (like https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/apify). One sample URL is already filled in, so you can run it right away.
2. Click Start. Leave the proxy on its default (Apify Residential, US). It's set up to get past Crunchbase's anti-bot checks.
3. Export. When the run finishes, download the data as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, JSONL, or RSS, or pull it through the Apify API into whatever you're building.

Input

Two inputs, and only the first is required:

Field	Required	Description
Company URLs (startUrls)	Yes	One or more Crunchbase organization URLs (like https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/apify). Paste them, upload a list, or pass them in from another Actor or the API. A sample URL is prefilled so you can run it right away.
Proxy configuration (proxyObj)	No	The proxy used to reach Crunchbase. Defaults to Apify Residential (US), which is tuned to get past the anti-bot protection. Leave it alone unless you have a reason to change it.

Common uses

• Lead gen and sales: build target-account lists by funding stage, headcount, or tech stack, and enrich your CRM with company and contact data.
• Investment and deal sourcing: track rounds, investors, and acquisitions; map a market or build a shortlist of targets.
• Market and competitive research: watch who's raising money in your space and what they're shipping.
• Recruiting: find fast-growing or recently funded companies, and the people working there.
• Data enrichment: take a list of companies you already have and fill in the rest.

Export options

The Actor stores results in an Apify dataset, which you can export to:

• JSON / JSONL
• CSV
• Excel
• XML
• HTML table
• RSS

Integrations

• Zapier and Make for no-code automations.
• n8n or the Apify API and webhooks for custom pipelines.
• Scheduled runs to keep funding, headcount, and news current on a watchlist.

Output

Each company becomes one record in the dataset. The Overview tab shows the headline fields (company, funding, investors, links); export to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS to get all 130+.

FAQ

Do I need a Crunchbase account or API key? No. The Actor reads the public company page directly, so there's no login, Pro plan, or API key involved.

I don't have a list of Crunchbase URLs. Can I still use it? It works from companies you already know. Pass it Crunchbase company URLs, or where supported, names or domains. If you need to find companies by filter or search, build the URL list first (a Crunchbase search export, your CRM, or a search-results scraper), then feed it here to enrich. A search mode is on the roadmap.

What formats can I export? JSON, JSONL, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML table, and RSS, plus the Apify API if you want it programmatically.

How much does it cost? You pay for the companies you scrape, billed through Apify. Current rates are on the Pricing tab of the store page. No Crunchbase subscription on top of that.

Is it maintained? Yes. We keep an eye on it and fix extraction when Crunchbase changes things.

Does this Actor touch the rest of my Apify account? No. It runs under Apify's limited-permissions scope: it reads your input and writes to its own dataset, and that's it. It can't see or change your other Actors, storages, or account data.
