What you get

Use cases

• Lead generation: find early-stage founders to reach out to before they go mainstream
• Market research: monitor which startup categories are trending on BetaList
• Competitive intelligence: track new entrants in your product category
• Newsletter/digest: curate recent launches by topic for your audience
• Investor sourcing: discover pre-seed startups filtered by category

Modes

Browse (default)

Scrape all recent startups from the BetaList homepage:

{
"mode":"browse",
"maxItems":100
}

Category

Scrape startups from specific categories. Find category slugs at betalist.com/browse:

{
"mode":"category",
"categories":["ai/ai-tools","productivity/saas","data-analytics/analytics"],
"maxItems":200
}

Specific URLs

Scrape a list of specific startup pages:

{
"mode":"urls",
"startUrls":[
"https://www.betalist.com/startups/fliptip-ai",
"https://www.betalist.com/startups/markty"
]
}

Monitoring mode (watchlist)

Turn the scraper into a recurring new-launch monitor. Set deltaMode: true, schedule it, and add a webhook. Each run returns only the startups that appeared since your last run, so you get alerted the moment something new launches.

{
"mode":"browse",
"deltaMode":true,
"maxItems":100
}

• The first run sets a baseline (returns the current feed up to maxItems). Every run after that returns only genuinely new launches, often zero when nothing has launched, so you only pay for real signal.
• State is stored per account, so your watchlist is private to you.
• Rotating BOOSTED promo cards are automatically excluded; they are ads, not new launches.
• Combine with mode: "category" to watch a specific niche (e.g. only new AI tools).

Prefer a fixed date range instead of stateful tracking? Use createdAfter:

{"mode":"browse","createdAfter":"2026-06-01","maxItems":200}

FAQ

Does it require login? No. BetaList startup listings are fully public.

How many startups are listed on BetaList? Thousands. The homepage shows ~50 recent ones; category pages add more with pagination.

Can I get the actual website URL? Yes, set includeWebsite: true. This adds one redirect-follow per startup (slightly slower).

What's the difference between tagline and description? Tagline is the short one-liner visible on listing cards. Description is the full paragraph on the startup's detail page.
