# Crunchbase plugin

> Crunchbase company profiles as clean JSON - description, headquarters, status, employee range, industries, CB rank, growth and heat scores, founders, funding rounds, acquisitions, web traffic and news - plus search by company name.

The **Crunchbase** plugin turns a Crunchbase organization profile into structured JSON. Give it the organization's slug - the part after `/organization/` in its profile URL, such as `stripe` - or the full profile URL, and it returns the organization: name, legal name, descriptions, logo, website, headquarters, operating, company and IPO status, employee range, industries, CB rank with its 90-day trend, growth and heat scores, founders, funding rounds with their lead investors, investors, acquisitions, investments, exits, key people, board members, similar companies, products, contact details, social links, monthly web traffic, technology counts, Crunchbase's predictions, key events with their press sources, offices and recent news.

Only have a company name? Search by name first to get its slug.

It reads what a signed-out visitor sees, so values Crunchbase shows only to paying users (founding, closing and IPO dates, funding totals, round dates and amounts, acquisition prices, exits, valuation) come back `null`, and `paywalledFields` names the ones Crunchbase holds for that organization. No Crunchbase account or API key is involved.

<Note>
  Try it in the dashboard first: [app.scrapeunblocker.com/dashboard/plugins](https://app.scrapeunblocker.com/dashboard/plugins). You get a live results view plus a copy-paste snippet.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X POST "https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/companies/crunchbase?organization=stripe" \
    -H "x-scrapeunblocker-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  from scrapeunblocker import Client

  su = Client()  # reads SCRAPEUNBLOCKER_KEY

  result = su.crunchbase_company("stripe")
  ```

  ```ts Node.js theme={null}
  import { ScrapeUnblockerClient } from "scrapeunblocker";

  const su = new ScrapeUnblockerClient(); // reads SCRAPEUNBLOCKER_KEY

  const result = await su.crunchbaseCompany("stripe");
  ```

  ```php PHP theme={null}
  use ScrapeUnblocker\Client;

  $su = new Client(); // reads SCRAPEUNBLOCKER_KEY

  $result = $su->crunchbaseCompany('stripe');
  ```

  ```ruby Ruby theme={null}
  require "scrapeunblocker"

  su = ScrapeUnblocker::Client.new # reads SCRAPEUNBLOCKER_KEY

  result = su.crunchbase_company("stripe")
  ```

### Response

Trimmed below: the full `organization` record always carries all 73 keys, so a key Crunchbase has no value for is present as `null` or an empty list.

| `founders` / `keyPeople` / `boardMembers` | People with `name`, `slug`, `url` and `image`; key people add their `title` and `startedOn`. |
