# PitchBook

> PitchBook company profiles via Apify.

PitchBook company profiles via Apify. Extract firmographics, total raised, latest deal, and a partial investor list from a PitchBook company profile URL.

1 endpoint available through Lava's AI Gateway. See the [PitchBook 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 PitchBook. Pass one PitchBook company profile URL via the `url` field (singular), e.g. [https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/518919-49](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/518919-49), NOT a company name. To look up a company by name, first resolve its profile URL (e.g. web search for "\<company> pitchbook.com/profiles/company"; verify the match, many companies share names). Returns firmographics (description, primary industry, verticals, HQ address, founding year, employee count, status, website, socials), total raised, latest deal type/amount/date, financing-round and investor counts, a partial investor list with investor type and holding (investor names also appear as HTML links inside `faq` entries), patents, and PitchBook research links. Public-profile depth only: no round-by-round financing history, valuations, or cap tables. TIMEOUT/RETRY NOTE: the first call for an uncached profile takes \~30-110s and may 504 through the gateway; the actor caches scraped snapshots server-side, so on a 504, or a response item with status "starting" ("Snapshot is not ready yet"), retry the identical call after \~30s and the cached profile returns in seconds. Each attempt is billed. \~$0.025 per result upstream, flat $0.03 per request through Lava.

**POST** `https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/pratikdani~pitchbook-companies-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items` — \$0.03 / request
