Summary

CrunchBase API has joined the RapidAPI marketplace, offering developers access to a comprehensive database of information on innovative companies worldwide. This integration allows users to incorporate data on startup trends, investment insights, and company information into their applications, with real-time updates enhancing the usability of the data. While the BASIC free pricing plan grants access to the Open Data Map (ODM) endpoints for organizations and people, a paid subscription is necessary for full access to all available API endpoints, which include data on organizations, people, locations, funding rounds, acquisitions, IPOs, and more. Nealesh Patel, Head of Sales and Business Development at CrunchBase, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting the potential for developers to creatively utilize the extensive dataset for purposes like building sales tools or researching industry trends.
