# Crunchbase

**What is Crunchbase?**

The Crunchbase node in StackAI allows you to access and search company and investment data directly from Crunchbase. This integration is ideal for workflows that require up-to-date business intelligence, company profiles, or investment research.

***

**How to use it?**

To use the Crunchbase node, simply add it to your StackAI workflow and configure the search parameters. You can specify your search query, the number of results you want, and the country to focus your search. The node will return structured results with company or investment information.

***

**Example of Usage**

Suppose you want to find information about "OpenAI" in the United States and retrieve the top 5 results:

* **Query:** "OpenAI" (required)
* **Top K:** 5 (optional, default is 10)
* **Country:** "US" (optional, default is "US")

The node will return a list of results, each containing a title and a text summary.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stackai.com/workflow-builder/apps/crunchbase.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
