Get Crunchbase data, no workarounds needed
Web scraping Crunchbase is a pain. Here's what you typically deal with:
Blocked by anti-bot systems
Crunchbase uses sophisticated protection that blocks traditional scrapers and proxies.
Proxy management headaches
Rotating proxies, managing IP pools, and handling rate limits takes valuable engineering time.
Layout changes break your code
Crunchbase frequently updates their HTML structure, breaking your parsing logic.
JavaScript rendering issues
Modern sites require headless browsers, adding complexity and infrastructure costs.
Data cleaning nightmares
Raw HTML requires extensive parsing, normalization, and validation before it's usable.
Scaling is expensive
Running scraping infrastructure at scale requires DevOps expertise and significant costs.
Whether you're monitoring data or analyzing at scale, you shouldn't need a DevOps team for reliable results.
