Crunchbase Company Scraper — Profiles, Funding & Investors

Used by VC analysts building deal sourcing pipelines, growth teams enriching prospect lists with funding signals, and AI agents doing investor research mid-conversation.

Scrape Crunchbase company profiles with funding round count, investor count, headcount range, categories, website, HQ location, social links, and Crunchbase's own growth & heat momentum scores — no API key or login required. Provide company slugs or search keywords and get clean JSON output instantly.

$9.00 per 1,000 company records (Pay Per Event) — clean, flat output that undercuts the heavier raw-dump scrapers.

What You Get

Each record contains these fields:

Input

Organization Slugs (direct lookup — recommended)

Fetch specific companies by their Crunchbase permalink (the slug in the URL crunchbase.com/organization/<slug>):

{
"organizationSlugs":["airbnb","stripe","openai","anthropic"]
}

Search Queries

Find companies by keyword:

{
"searchQueries":["generative AI startup","fintech payments"],
"maxSearchResults":25
}

No API key, no login, no proxy configuration needed. Just add the slugs and run.

Use Cases

• VC sourcing — enrich a list of portfolio-company slugs with funding totals, round count, investors, and categories in bulk
• Sales intelligence — qualify leads by funding stage, headcount, and category before outreach
• Competitive research — profile every competitor by funding, HQ, employee band, and industry categories
• AI agent tools — mid-conversation lookups: "How much has Anthropic raised?", "Get all Series A AI startups"

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Point your MCP client at this tool for real-time Crunchbase lookups mid-conversation:

{
"mcpServers":{
"apify":{
"command":"npx",
"args":[
"mcp-remote",
"https://mcp.apify.com/?actors=bovi/crunchbase-scraper",
"--header",
"Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
]
}
}
}

Minimal agent input (direct slug lookup):

{
"organizationSlugs":["anthropic","openai","stripe"]
}

No API key needed from the caller — just slugs.

Sample Output

{
"name":"Stripe",
"permalink":"stripe",
"short_description":"Stripe is a financial technology company that provides online payment processing and payment infrastructure.",
"categories":["B2B","Financial Services","FinTech","Payments","Mobile Payments"],
"headquarters":"South San Francisco, California, United States",
"num_employees":"c_05001_10000",
"website":"https://stripe.com",
"contact_email":"dpo@stripe.com",
"contact_phone":"+1 888 926 2289",
"num_contacts":4741,
"web_visits_monthly":192623772,
"num_technologies":72,
"last_funding_type":"secondary_market",
"num_funding_rounds":23,
"investor_count":68,
"num_investments":95,
"num_acquisitions":21,
"growth_score":99,
"heat_score":77,
"rank_org_company":76,
"company_type":"for_profit",
"ipo_status":"private",
"linkedin_url":"https://www.linkedin.com/company/stripe",
"url":"https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/stripe",
"parse_confidence":1.0
}

Note: founded_on, total_funding_usd and last_funding_at are returned when Crunchbase exposes them publicly; for profiles where these are login-gated they come back null (the values are not available to any logged-out scraper).

Pricing

Pay-per-result (PPE) — one charge per company profile returned. Every profile includes the full field set: contacts (email/phone), web-traffic, tech count, funding rounds, investors, growth/heat scores and social links.

• 100 profiles = a few cents
• 1,000 profiles = the per-1K rate shown on the pricing tab

No subscription, no API key, no per-field upcharge — every record is the complete profile.

vs other Crunchbase scrapers

The market leader by volume returns a 98-field raw dump that buyers must flatten themselves (hence its low rating). This actor returns the same depth as clean, flat, ready-to-use columns.

FAQ

Do I need an API key or login? No. Provide company slugs (e.g. stripe, airbnb) and run — no Crunchbase account, no proxy config.

Why is total_funding_usd sometimes null? Crunchbase gates the exact total-funding figure behind login for many companies. We return it when it's public; otherwise it's null — no logged-out scraper can read it. Funding-round count, last-round type, and investor count are always returned.

What's the difference vs the high-volume competitor? That actor dumps ~98 raw nested Crunchbase objects you have to parse yourself. This actor flattens the same data into clean, documented columns plus contact email/phone and web-traffic — ready for your CRM or sheet.

Is this affiliated with Crunchbase? No — independent tool, public data only.

What parse_confidence Means

• 1.0 — all key fields present
• 0.8–0.9 — minor optional fields missing (normal for early-stage companies)
• < 0.7 — critical fields missing; inspect warnings for details

Common warning codes:

• name_missing — no company name found
• short_description_missing — no description (common for very new companies)
• permalink_missing — slug not returned

Integrations

• Webhooks — fire your own endpoint the moment a run finishes (docs).
• MCP server — expose this actor as a tool to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.
• API & SDKs — fetch the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel through the Apify REST API or the Python / JS SDKs.
