Download the dataset

Get every row this scraper has collected as one CSV or JSONL file. If the data is older than maxAgeHours, the scraper is re-run with its configured settings first. The key needs the datasets:export scope.

DOWNLOAD_ID=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.pandorlabs.com/v1/datasets/portfolio-rosters/downloads" \  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PANDORLABS_KEY" \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -d '{"maxAgeHours":24,"format":"csv"}' | jq -r '.id')while true; do  STATUS=$(curl -s "https://api.pandorlabs.com/v1/downloads/$DOWNLOAD_ID" \    -H "Authorization: Bearer $PANDORLABS_KEY" | jq -r '.status')  [ "$STATUS" != "refreshing" ] && break  sleep 5donecurl -s "https://api.pandorlabs.com/v1/downloads/$DOWNLOAD_ID/file" \  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PANDORLABS_KEY" \  -o dataset.csv

At its current 98 rows, this download costs 1 credit when the data is fresh enough, or 2 credits when it has to be refreshed first.

The rate is 1 credit per 100 rows cached and 2 credits live, charged on the rows in the dataset when the download becomes ready. A failed refresh is not charged. The file stays downloadable for 24 hours. See pricing.

Start a run

To choose the targets yourself, send the parameters below as input. The call returns 202 with the run; the key needs the scrapers:run scope and the account a positive credit balance.

curl -X POST "https://api.pandorlabs.com/v1/scrapers/portfolio-rosters/runs" \  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PANDORLABS_KEY" \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -d '{    "input": {      "kinds": [        "accelerator",        "venture",        "private-equity",        "conference"      ],      "targets": [        "antler",        "thoma-bravo",        "https://event.com/exhibitors"      ],      "minRosterSize": 6,      "render": "auto"    }  }'

A run is billed at the live rate once it finishes: 2 credits per 100 rows it collected. A run that collects nothing costs nothing.

Parameters

Every parameter is optional. Anything you leave out uses the default shown here; an unknown name or an invalid value is rejected with a 400 that lists each problem.

Targeting

kinds
enum[]
Backer types
Private equity is the least contested of these: a firm buys a mid-market business, a rebrand is standard playbook, and the budget was committed at the deal.
Default
["accelerator","venture","private-equity","conference"]
Allowed values
accelerator
venture
private-equity
conference
targets
string[]
Rosters
Empty runs every seeded roster of the selected kinds (18 available: antler, techstars, entrepreneur-first, seedcamp, founders-factory, a16z-speedrun, …). A URL adds an ad-hoc roster — this is how conference exhibitor lists are run, since their URLs carry the year. Longer forms: `private-equity|https://…` or `private-equity|Example Capital|https://…`.
Default
none
Example
antler, thoma-bravo, https://event.com/exhibitors
render
enum
Browser rendering
Most private-equity and venture rosters are drawn by JavaScript after load and are invisible without this. Accelerator rosters usually are not, so `auto` renders only the pages that need it and leaves the rest at one cheap request. Requires the obscura browser.
Default
auto
Allowed values
auto
never
always
followDetailPages
boolean
Resolve company domains
Private-equity rosters link to the firm's own page per company, not to the company's website, so the domain — the column that joins this dataset onto every other one — is only on that page. This follows them, at one cheap request each. Off, those rows carry a name and no domain.
Default
true

Advanced

minRosterSize
number
Minimum roster size
A page returning fewer companies than this is reported as thin and named in the warnings, which almost always means its roster is rendered by JavaScript after load.
Default
6
Range
1 to 1000
detailDelayMs
number
Delay between detail pages (ms)
Default
300
Range
0 to 30000
maxPerTarget
number
Max companies per roster
Default
2000
Range
1 to 20000
requestDelayMs
number
Delay between rosters (ms)
One request per roster, so a run is small. The delay is politeness towards firms whose marketing sites are not built for traffic.
Default
1500
Range
0 to 60000

Run, poll, read rows

The run is asynchronous. Poll it until it reaches a terminal status and its billing is paid, then page through its rows. Until then the rows endpoint answers 409 (still queued or running) or 402 (payment required).
