crunchbase-api v0.2.1

Node.js wrapper for CrunchBase API V3

Based on crunchbase2 (now out of date and incompatible with API V3).

Examples

var crunchbase = require('crunchbase-api');

// Init the object with your API key
crunchbase.init(apikey);

// Lookup all organizations with keyword "airbnb"
//Accepts title search query
crunchbase.organizations( {query: "airbnb" } , function(error, results) {
  if (!error) {
    console.log(results) // Print the search results
  }
});

// Lookup a single organization with the permalink "airbnb"
//accepts permalink (airbnb's happens to be airbnb)

    console.log(results) // Print the search results
  }
});

crunchbase.product( {query: "airbnb" }, function(error, results) {
  if (!error) {
    console.log(results) // Print the search results
  }

crunchbase.fundingRound( {query: "0f74285df822ece685d63aa562f8c280" }, function(error, results) {
  if (!error) {
    console.log(results) // Print the search results
  }
});

//This operation returns the properties and relationships of the Acquisition.

crunchbase.acquisition( {query: "0f74285df822ece685d63aa562f8c280" }, function(error, results) {
  if (!error) {
    console.log(results) // Print the search results
  }
});

//This operation returns the properties and relationships of the IPO.

crunchbase.ipo( {query: "0f74285df822ece685d63aa562f8c280" }, function(error, results) {

crunchbase.categories( {query: "1" }, function(error, results) {
  if (!error) {
    console.log(results) // Print the search results
  }
});

Redis support

You can pass an object of options that node_redis recognizes as the second argument to init to enable caching of results in Redis. node_redis needs to be installed (npm install redis) for this to work. Here's an example configuration that will use the Redis URL in the REDIS_URL environment variable, falling back to localhost Redis if not set:

var crunchbase = require('crunchbase-api');

crunchbase.init(apikey, {url: process.env.REDIS_URL || 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379'});
