Scrape BetaList's full catalog of early-stage startup launches. Extract startup profiles including name, tagline, description, website, launch date, category tags, founders, logo, screenshots, and boosted status.

What it does

This scraper crawls BetaList — a directory of pre-launch and recently-launched startups — and returns structured data on each listing. You can scrape the full catalog in discovery mode or provide specific startup URLs to target.

Two operating modes:

1. Catalog crawl (default): Starts from the BetaList homepage and paginates through all listing pages, extracting one record per startup detail page. Use maxItems to cap the run.

2. Direct URL mode: Provide specific BetaList startup URLs via startUrls. The actor scrapes those detail pages directly, bypassing the listing crawler.

Output fields

Note: Fields marked "requires login" or "not available in public HTML" are null because BetaList gates this data behind authentication. The scraper operates without credentials.
