Is there a built-in Azure Data Factory connector for Crunchbase?

I am looking to extract data from Crunchbase, which provides comprehensive private-company insights, and integrate it into Azure for further processing. If a native connector for Crunchbase is not available in ADF, what would be the best approach to connect?

Would using the REST API connector in ADF be a viable option for fetching data from Crunchbase? If so, are there any specific authentication methods, pagination handling, or rate limits I should be aware of when setting up the API connection?

Any guidance or alternative suggestions for efficiently pulling Crunchbase data into Azure would be greatly appreciated!

Based on my knowledge, there is no native connector for Crunchbase in ADF.

You can leverage web activity to make API call to crunchbase

Hi @Gabriel-2005

Azure Data Factory does not have a built-in connector for Crunchbase. However, you can connect to Crunchbase using the REST API connector in ADF.

To do this, you need to:

Check API Access: Crunchbase provides API access, but you may need an API key or authentication.

Set Up REST API Linked Service: In ADF, create a REST API linked service and provide the API endpoint and authentication details.

Handle Pagination: If Crunchbase returns data in pages, configure pagination rules in ADF to fetch all results.

Store Data: You can save the data in Azure Blob Storage, Data Lake, or a database for further processing.

If you need real-time or frequent data pulls, consider using Azure Functions instead. Let me know if you need more details!

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
