Fundz Acquisitions API
Company acquisitions and M&A events, with acquirer and target organization records where disclosed.
OpenAPI Specification
openapi: 3.2.0
info:
title: Fundz Acquisitions API
version: 1.1.0
description: 'The Fundz API delivers structured private-market events — funding rounds, crowdfunding campaigns, acquisitions, executive appointments, business agreements and product launches — collected continuously from SEC filings, state registries and company disclosures since 2015.
**Keys are self-serve.** A working key takes about five seconds at https://www.fundz.net/api-trial — no sales call, no licence tier, no card required to start. Pricing is published at https://www.fundz.net/pricing rather than quoted, so an agent can evaluate cost before committing.
**Shape.** Every endpoint is a `GET` returning `{_attribution, _licensing, data[], meta}`. Pages hold 25 records; walk them with `page` and `meta.next_page`. Sort is newest-first by `created_at`, so polling `created_from` is the idiomatic way to consume the feed incrementally.
**Coverage.** 637 funding events in the last 7 days (113 in the last 24h) and 45,861 investors linked to rounds, verified live 2026-08-05. Organization records carry domain, LinkedIn, location, industries, headcount and public/private status.
**Auth.** The API key is the raw value of the `Authorization` header — there is no `Bearer` prefix.
**Errors.** `403` and `404` return `{type, message}`. `429` returns a different shape — `{error, current_tier, queries_limit, remaining_searches, upgrade_url}`. Both are documented below as they actually behave; the API does not currently emit RFC 9457 Problem Details.
**Attribution.** Every response carries `_attribution` and `_licensing`. The API is free to call on a self-serve key; commercial redistribution or embedding requires a licence (john@fundz.net).'
