Ycombinator

What Ycombinator $0.8💰 Companies Scraper can do

• Deep company profiles. 50+ fields per company when detail fetching is on: founders with bio, title and social links, LinkedIn, Twitter, Crunchbase, GitHub and Facebook URLs, demo-day and application videos, application answers, photos, and the primary YC partner.
• Open roles and coverage. Job postings with title, location, salary range, equity range, visa notes and an apply URL, plus news mentions and Launch YC product launches.
• 14 filter dimensions. Free-text query, batch, industry, subindustry, region, tag, status, funding stage, hiring-only, top-ranked, nonprofit, and public-media flags, all combinable in one search.
• Two ways in. Build filters in the input form, or paste any /companies search or company URL copied from a browser (multiple URLs supported in one run).
• Streaming output. Each company is written to the dataset as soon as it's collected, so a stopped run still keeps everything found so far.
• Resumable at two levels. A killed or migrated run picks itself back up automatically without re-charging for companies already saved, and a brand-new run can continue a previous one by ID.
