The Crunchbase Company API turns public Crunchbase organization pages into structured JSON. Send one or many company URLs, or just company names or website domains, and get funding rounds, investors, founders, industries, HQ location, employee count, Crunchbase rank, and operating status back, one row per company. No Crunchbase account, no API key, and no scraping setup to maintain.

It runs as a Crunchbase scraper for company enrichment. Paste a list of organization URLs and it collects them in parallel, one clean row each, ready to export as JSON, CSV, or Excel. No URL handy? Pass the company name or the website domain instead and each resolves to its top-matching organization, so you can chain straight from a list of account names. Billing is per company returned, so a run only costs you for the companies you actually get back, with no seat license and no monthly Crunchbase subscription.

Each row is deep. You get firmographics (name, industries, HQ, employee band), per-round funding detail with stages and lead investors, distinct investor names and counts, founders, key people and board members, named contacts with titles, products, similar companies, recent news, acquisitions, IPO status, growth and heat signals, web traffic, and detected tech stack. If a URL cannot be collected you get a clear error row for that one URL instead of a failed run, so a single bad link never sinks the batch.

Works with MCP

The API is MCP-ready, so Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and other AI agents can call it as a tool. Ask "Use the Crunchbase Company API to look up OpenAI and summarize its funding and investors" and it returns structured rows in the conversation, no scraping code. It also pairs with the LinkedIn Company API: run it on your accounts, then feed the company names straight into companyNames here to add funding and investors with no Crunchbase URL matching.
