Managed execution
How Crawlora handles this platform
Every figure below is read from the live PitchBook endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 15 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
Documented endpoint coverage
5 documented PitchBook endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Advisor, Company and Fund, plus 2 more.
Published request surface
15 request parameters are documented across those PitchBook endpoints, 5 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
Known response shape
5 of the 5 PitchBook endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 5 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Documented failure modes
PitchBook endpoints document their error responses (400, 404, 429 and 503) alongside the success schema, so a block, a rate limit, or a missing record comes back as a typed error rather than silently empty data.
Agent-callable MCP tools
5 hosted MCP tools back the PitchBook endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

GETapiKeyexample
/pitchbook/companyPitchBook company profile
Returns the free/teaser content of a PitchBook company profile page (overview, description, contact/HQ, industry, funding-round history without dollar amounts, a preview of investors, acquisitions, and subsidiaries). PitchBook gates most numeric figures (deal amounts, cap tables, full investor/LP lists) behind a paid subscription; those come through as empty cells rather than being fabricated. Pass exactly one of `id` or `url`.
Response notes
- Passing neither or both of `id`/`url` returns an invalid-parameter error. - A `url` that isn't an absolute `https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/<id>` URL returns an invalid-parameter error. - A response missing the profile name is treated as an upstream error (parser drift or a blocked/challenge page), never a `200` with empty data.

/pitchbook/fundPitchBook fund profile
Returns the free/teaser content of a PitchBook fund profile page (strategy, status, manager, size, vintage, and a preview of limited partners and benchmark peer funds). PitchBook gates most numeric figures (returns/IRR, full LP lists) behind a paid subscription; those come through as empty cells rather than being fabricated. Pass exactly one of `id` or `url`.
Response notes
- Passing neither or both of `id`/`url` returns an invalid-parameter error. - A `url` that isn't an absolute `https://pitchbook.com/profiles/fund/<id>` URL returns an invalid-parameter error. - A response missing the profile name is treated as an upstream error (parser drift or a blocked/challenge page), never a `200` with empty data.

GETapiKeyexample
/pitchbook/investorPitchBook investor profile
Returns the free/teaser content of a PitchBook investor (fund manager/firm) profile page (overview, description, contact/HQ, and a preview of investments, exits, and co-investors). PitchBook gates most numeric figures and full lists behind a paid subscription; those come through as empty cells rather than being fabricated. Pass exactly one of `id` or `url`.
Response notes
- Passing neither or both of `id`/`url` returns an invalid-parameter error. - A `url` that isn't an absolute `https://pitchbook.com/profiles/investor/<id>` URL returns an invalid-parameter error. - A response missing the profile name is treated as an upstream error (parser drift or a blocked/challenge page), never a `200` with empty data.

/pitchbook/advisorPitchBook advisor profile
Returns the free/teaser content of a PitchBook advisor (service provider, e.g. investment bank, lender, or financing advisory firm) profile page: overview, description, contact/HQ, and a preview of serviced companies/deals, co-lenders, and subsidiaries. PitchBook gates most numeric figures and full lists behind a paid subscription; those come through as empty cells rather than being fabricated. Pass exactly one of `id` or `url`.
Response notes
- Passing neither or both of `id`/`url` returns an invalid-parameter error. - A `url` that isn't an absolute `https://pitchbook.com/profiles/advisor/<id>` URL returns an invalid-parameter error. - A response missing the profile name is treated as an upstream error (parser drift or a blocked/challenge page), never a `200` with empty data.

/pitchbook/limited-partnerPitchBook limited partner profile
Returns the free/teaser content of a PitchBook limited partner (institutional investor, e.g. pension fund, endowment, or insurance company) profile page: overview, description, contact, and a preview of fund commitments. PitchBook gates most numeric figures and full lists behind a paid subscription; those come through as empty cells rather than being fabricated. Some limited partner profiles have no FAQ section (thinner profiles) -- this is normal, not a sign of a blocked or broken response. Pass exactly one of `id` or `url`.
Response notes
- Passing neither or both of `id`/`url` returns an invalid-parameter error. - A `url` that isn't an absolute `https://pitchbook.com/profiles/limited-partner/<id>` URL returns an invalid-parameter error. - A response missing the profile name is treated as an upstream error (parser drift or a blocked/challenge page), never a `200` with empty data. - Some limited partner profiles have no FAQ section at all — PitchBook only generates one for profiles with enough content. `faqs` being empty on an otherwise complete response is normal, not a sign of a blocked or broken request.

How to scrape PitchBook
Extract PitchBook data in 4 steps
PitchBook's data is subscription-gated and its public profile pages show only a teaser. Crawlora's 5 PitchBook endpoints return exactly that public preview — company, fund, investor, advisor, and limited-partner profiles — as normalized JSON, with the gated figures returned empty rather than invented.
- Step 1
Pick the profile type
Separate endpoints cover companies, funds, investors, advisors, and limited partners.
- Step 2
Address it by id or url
Pass exactly one of id or url — the PitchBook profile URL works directly if that is what you already have.
- Step 3
Read what is public
For a company that means the overview and description, contact and HQ, industry, funding-round history without dollar amounts, and a preview of investors, acquisitions, and subsidiaries.
- Step 4
Know what is missing
Deal amounts, cap tables, and full investor and limited-partner lists sit behind PitchBook's paid subscription and come back as empty cells — so treat this as a discovery and enrichment layer, not a replacement for a licence.
FAQ
Scraping PitchBook: common questions
Is there an official PitchBook API?
PitchBook's API requires an existing paid Platform subscription plus a separate Direct Data contract — quote-only pricing negotiated through PitchBook's sales team, with no self-serve signup or public price list. Crawlora is not affiliated with PitchBook and does not resell its licensed data — these endpoints return the free, publicly visible teaser content of a PitchBook profile page as structured JSON.
Does this give me PitchBook's deal amounts and cap tables?
No, and it will not pretend to. PitchBook gates most numeric figures — deal amounts, cap tables, and the full investor and limited-partner lists — behind its paid subscription, and those come back as empty cells rather than being fabricated. What you do get is the public overview, description, contact and HQ, industry, funding-round history without amounts, and a preview of investors, acquisitions, and subsidiaries.
Do I pass an id or a URL?
Exactly one of them. Every PitchBook endpoint accepts either the profile id or the profile url, but not both in the same call.
What is it actually useful for?
Resolving and enriching private-company records at scale — confirming a company exists, its industry and headquarters, who its known investors are, and which funding rounds happened. It is the discovery layer that sits in front of a licensed data purchase or a manual research pass, not a substitute for either.
