n8n-nodes-crunchbase-company-api

An n8n community node that collects Crunchbase company data as clean, structured items: name, description, website, HQ location, industries, funding, investors, founders, rank, and status. It is backed by the Crunchbase Company API on Apify and bills per company, so there are no subscriptions and no minimums.

What it does

Give the node one or more Crunchbase organization URLs and it returns one item per company with funding, investors, industries, HQ location, employee count, rank, and status. It also works as an AI Agent tool, so an agent can enrich companies on demand.

  • Collect company data from one or many Crunchbase organization URLs in a single run
  • Get funding totals, rounds, investor names, founders, and acquisitions
  • Read firmographics: industries, HQ location, employee count, operating status, and IPO status
  • Choose how much data to return per company: Simplified, Raw, or Selected Fields

Installation

Follow the n8n community nodes installation guide:

  1. In n8n, open Settings > Community Nodes.
  2. Select Install.
  3. Enter n8n-nodes-crunchbase-company-api as the npm package name.
  4. Agree to the risks of using community nodes, then select Install.

After it installs, the Crunchbase Company node appears in the nodes panel.

n8n Cloud only allows verified community nodes. Until this node is verified, install it on a self-hosted n8n instance.

Credentials

You need a free Apify account and an API token.

  1. Sign in to the Apify Console.
  2. Open Settings > Integrations and copy your Personal API token.
  3. In n8n, create a new Apify API credential and paste the token.
  4. Use the credential's Test button to confirm it works.

The node also supports Apify OAuth2 if you prefer to connect that way.

Operations

Company > Get returns one item per Crunchbase organization URL.

Parameter Description
Company URLs One or more Crunchbase organization URLs, for example https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/openai. Add one per row. Required.
Output How much data to return: Simplified, Raw, or Selected Fields.
Fields to Include When Output is Selected Fields, pick exactly which fields to return.

Output

Each company is returned as its own n8n item. The API returns more than ten fields per company, so the Output parameter lets you choose how much to return:

  • Simplified (default): a compact object with result_type, name, description, website, hqLocation, industries, totalFunding, numFundingRounds, employeeCount, ipoStatus, founders, companyUrl, summary, and error_message. This mode is also used automatically when the node runs as an AI Agent tool, to keep responses small.
  • Raw: every field the API returns for each company, using the original field names below.
  • Selected Fields: pick exactly which fields to include.

Each item carries a result_type of company or error. Error rows include error_message and error_type and describe a URL that could not be collected.

Example workflows

1. Enrich new CRM accounts

  1. CRM Trigger (or a webhook) fires when a new account is created with a Crunchbase URL.
  2. Crunchbase Company: pass the URL in Company URLs, Output Simplified.
  3. Set / HTTP Request: write totalFunding, industries, and employeeCount back to the CRM record.

2. Build a funding and investor report

  1. Manual Trigger.
  2. Crunchbase Company: add several organization URLs, Output Selected Fields with name, totalFunding, numFundingRounds, investors, and growthScore.
  3. Google Sheets / Airtable: append one row per company.

3. Let an AI Agent research a company

  1. AI Agent node.
  2. Attach Crunchbase Company as a tool.
  3. Ask "What has OpenAI raised and who are the investors?" The agent calls the node (in Simplified mode) and returns the funding and investor data.

Pricing

This node calls the Crunchbase Company API on Apify, which is billed pay-per-company (about $0.009 per company returned), with no subscription and no minimums. Apify also includes a free monthly usage tier that covers typical volumes. See the Actor page for current rates.
