What it is: a tool to create your own private zero-click Crunchbase search
How to use it:
- run ./getfiles.sh
This will download the listings for four categories of crunchbase entities:
- people
- companies
- products
- financial-institutions
- run ./fetch_crunchbase.rb
This will download every single instance from the listings. It can take many hours, better to do it overnight.
-
Get an IndexTank account, edit config.yaml and replace your private api key
-
run ./index.rb, it will index the data repository in a few minutes
-
replace /your_public_part in web/index.html by the public prefix of your api url (e.g. w3ju4)
If all the above steps worked, you should have a better search UI than Crunchbase's! Point your browser to web/index.html and enjoy.
