Integrate in minutes
One host, one Bearer key for every Clair API. Each call returns JSON with the same envelope, so a second API is a new path, not a new client.
curl -G "https://api.clair.im/v1/organization?engine=crunchbase&permalink=stripe" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
Reference

What does the Crunchbase API return?
Reads the logged-out organization or person page for a permalink such as stripe or patrick-collison. Fields Crunchbase obfuscates (funding_total, founded_on, last_funding_at, IPO amounts) stay off the payload and are listed in locked_fields. Card lists are Crunchbase’s first page (~10). There is no search or autocomplete.
Which endpoints does a subscription include?
All of them: Organization, Person. They share this API's monthly quota.
How is a request counted?
Each call is one request, and each extra page is a new call. A malformed request (400) is not counted, and a request that fails on our side (5xx) is refunded.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. Every Clair API has its own free tier: 200 requests a month, with no card. It resets monthly, and the API stops when the month's requests run out.
What happens when I use up my plan's requests?
On a paid tier, extra calls are billed at the tier's overage rate until its ceiling, then the API returns 429 until the next period. The free tier returns 429 as soon as its requests are used.
Does this subscription cover other Clair APIs?
No. Each API is its own subscription, and one key works with all of them. A call to an API the account does not subscribe to returns 403 not_subscribed.
