Welcome to Linked CrunchBase!

A Linked Data API wrapping the REST API of CrunchBase, a database about technology companies and startups.

Currently, this service maps every request to Crunchbase. Some mappings of Organizations to DBpedia are available. The mapping can be found here.

Authentication

To use the service, you have to auth to Crunchbase. To do so, enter your api key here (put the key in the username field and keep the password field empty). If you are not authenticated, we redirect the request to a SPARQL-Server and return some of our crawled data.

Online Examples

Step by Step Example
