2. Paste your input and press StartNo code needed: you fill in a form (the input). It already has a working example. For example: https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/apify in Company URLs or slugs. Each start is one run.
3. Download the resultsWhen the run ends, the results are in a table (the dataset). Open Output, press Export and pick Excel or CSV. JSON and the API are there too.

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("cliqtomedia/crunchbase-companies").call(run_input={
    "mode": "companies",
    "companyUrls": [
        "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/apify"
    ]
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/cliqtomedia~crunchbase-companies/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode": "companies", "companyUrls": ["https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/apify"]}'

# pip install langchain-apify
# set APIFY_TOKEN in your environment

tool = ApifyActorsTool("cliqtomedia/crunchbase-companies")
result = tool.invoke({"run_input": {"mode": "companies", "companyUrls": ["https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/apify"]}})
