Growth Company Search API - Private Company Data Search

Find and export private and growth companies with rich firmographics and growth signals. Search by keywords, industry, location, employee count, founding year, headcount growth rate, funding raised and more, then stream clean, structured company records straight to a dataset. You pay only for the records you actually receive.

This actor is built for sourcing, market mapping, competitive research, deal origination and lead generation on private and venture-backed companies that are hard to find in generic public-company databases.

What you can do with it

• Build target lists of private companies that match an exact firmographic profile.
• Map an industry or end market and see who is growing fastest.
• Screen for companies by funding stage, total capital raised and headcount growth.
• Enrich a market map with employee counts, hiring signals, social profiles and investors.
• Export everything as JSON, CSV or Excel, or push it into your CRM or data warehouse.

Features

• Keyword and semantic search across company names, descriptions and web text.
• Firmographic filters: industry, specialty, company type, location (country, state, city).
• Size and age filters: current employee count, employee-size ranges, founding year.
• Growth and funding filters: headcount growth rate, total capital raised, investment types.
• Signal filters: products and services, end markets, contacts available, out-of-business exclusion.
• Growth metrics on every record: 3, 6, 12 and 24 month and all-time headcount growth rates plus current open job count.
• Funding data: total amount invested and investor list where available.
• Automatic offset-based pagination up to your chosen maximum.
• Pay-per-result pricing with a hard result cap so a run can never surprise you.

Advanced raw filters

Filters that are not exposed as dedicated fields can be passed through rawFilters as a JSON object, merged over the built-in filters verbatim. For example:

{
  "jobCount": { "from": 5 },
  "latestValuation": { "from": 50000000 },
  "recentRaised": { "from": 1000000 },
  "excludeEndMarkets": ["Defense"]
}

Pricing and the credit model

This actor uses pay-per-result pricing. You are charged a fixed price for each company record delivered to the dataset, and nothing for a run that returns no matches. Set maxResults to cap how many records a run can collect, and set a run spending limit as a second safety net. When the spending limit is reached the run stops early and keeps whatever it has already saved.

Bring your own API key

This actor connects to a third-party private-company data provider (SourceScrub) on your behalf and requires your own provider OAuth2 client credentials. Enter your clientId and clientSecret (and, if your account uses the password grant, a username and password) in the input. These credentials are enterprise-provisioned by the data provider; the actor never ships with or shares credentials, and your secret and password are stored securely and never logged.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of companies does this cover?

Private and growth-stage companies, including venture-backed and bootstrapped businesses that are often missing from public-company databases. You can filter by industry, size, location, age, funding and growth.

How do I get credentials?

The underlying data API uses OAuth2 client credentials that are provisioned by the data provider for your organization. They are enterprise-provisioned rather than self-serve. Once you have a client ID and secret, paste them into the actor input.

Which OAuth2 grant does it use?

The actor mints an access token before each run. If you supply a username and password it uses the password grant; otherwise it uses the client-credentials grant. The token is cached for the run and refreshed automatically if it expires.

Is the data API stable?

The underlying data endpoint is on a pre-release v2 API and its request and response shapes may change over time. The actor reads results defensively and keeps the raw provider fields on every record, but you should validate the output against your own credentials before depending on it in production.

How does pagination work?

Results are paged automatically using offset-based pagination at 100 records per page, until your maxResults is reached or the provider returns no more matches.

How am I charged?

You pay a fixed price per company record returned to the dataset. A run that matches nothing costs nothing. Use maxResults and the run spending limit to control cost.

Can I filter on fields that are not shown in the form?

Yes. Use the advanced rawFilters JSON object to pass any additional filter fields, which are merged over the built-in filters.

What output formats are available?

The dataset can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML or RSS, or read through the API for pushing into a CRM or warehouse.
