FAQs

Q: What input does this scraper require? A: The scraper expects a list of PitchBook company profile URLs (one per line or as an array). For each URL, it visits the profile, parses the HTML, and returns a structured JSON record containing company details, investments, competitors, FAQs, and investors.

Q: Does it handle companies without full financing or patent data? A: Yes. If certain sections such as patents, research analysis, or patent activity are missing for a company, those fields are returned as null or empty arrays while still providing all other available information, so downstream code can handle incomplete profiles gracefully.

Q: Can I integrate the output with my data warehouse or BI tools? A: The scraper is designed to output clean JSON records that can be easily loaded into relational databases, data warehouses, or analytics tools. You can use the included exporters to write results to files, streams, or custom sinks.

Q: How does it handle changes in page structure? A: Parsing logic is modularized in dedicated extractor modules. If the PitchBook layout changes, you can update a specific parser (e.g., company_profile_parser.py or investments_parser.py) without touching the rest of the pipeline.
