# Crunchbase

> Crunchbase company profiles via Apify.

Crunchbase company profiles via Apify. Extract a single organization's identity, funding rounds, investors, leadership, acquisitions, and competitors from a Crunchbase URL.

1 endpoint available through Lava's AI Gateway. See the [Crunchbase API docs](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) for full documentation.

<Info>Supports both **managed** (Lava's API keys) and **unmanaged** (bring your own credentials) mode.</Info>

## Endpoints

### Extract a single company profile from a Crunchbase URL. Pass one Crunchbase organization URL via the `url` field (singular). By default Lava returns a compact summary (\~10-15KB) containing identity, overview description, founders, current leadership, funding rounds with investors, acquisitions, top 25 competitors (slimmed), tech stack, heat/growth scores, and key employee changes, structural boilerplate (UUIDs, empty summary shells, multi-year time-series history) is stripped in the gateway. Pass `filter.mode="full"` to receive the raw \~650KB Apify payload unchanged. $0.008-$0.015 per company.

**POST** `https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/pratikdani~crunchbase-companies-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items` — \$0.01 / request
