• No subscription required: Accesses publicly available investor profile pages
• Rich structured output: 20+ fields per investor including metrics, location, social links
• Cloudflare bypass: Handles PitchBook's anti-bot protection automatically

Notes

• PitchBook's robots.txt disallows /profiles/search and /search endpoints. When using searchQuery mode, you accept responsibility for compliance with robots.txt.
• Individual profile pages (/profiles/investor/*) are not disallowed by robots.txt.
• Bulk sitemap mode streams from PitchBook's public sitemaps (compliant).
• Residential proxy is required to bypass Cloudflare protection — included in the actor cost.
