# 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)

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