## Documentation

## Overview
Retrieve detailed company profiles from Crunchbase by searching via company name, permalink, UUID, or Crunchbase URL. Alternatively, perform a **reverse domain lookup** to find the Crunchbase record associated with any domain. Returns funding data, employee count, categories, social networks, SEMrush traffic stats, and more.

```

|---|---|---|---|
| `query` | string | no | Company name, permalink, UUID, or full Crunchbase URL. Mutually exclusive with `domain`. |
| `domain` | string | no | Domain name for reverse lookup (e.g. `openai.com`). Mutually exclusive with `query`. |

## Response fields

## Notes
- Use either `query` **or** `domain`: never both in a single request.
- The `domain` parameter supports both plain domains (`openai.com`) and full URLs (`https://openai.com`).
- Some fields may be `null` for lesser-known companies.

## Main use cases
- Enrich CRM records with live firmographic data from Crunchbase (funding, employee count, categories)
- Identify the Crunchbase profile of any company via reverse domain lookup for lead qualification
- Monitor startup funding history and investor lists for competitive intelligence
- Build automated prospect enrichment pipelines that append Crunchbase data to outbound leads
