Screen for funding predictions

Before you begin

Your API key must include the fields and collections requested below. Check your API package if an endpoint or field is unavailable. Complete your first API request to set CRUNCHBASE_API_KEY in bash or zsh. Commands below include response headers; look for HTTP 200, then read the JSON body.

Primary APIs: Funding Prediction Search

Goal: Retrieve funding predictions with an overall probability score of at least 0.90, then inspect their generation dates and timing values. This workflow screens potential fundraising, not IPOs or acquisitions.

Before interpreting the results, review prediction scores and timing.

Endpoint

API reference and guides

Query

Returns funding prediction records with probability_score >= 0.90. The overall score has no fixed time horizon. Timing values describe separate month intervals relative to generated_on; do not multiply them by the overall score or treat them as its mathematical decomposition.

Fields used in this query

field_id	What this field does	operator_id (these are the compatible operators per field)
`organization`	Used to identify the company receiving funding	`blank`; `contains`; `eq`; `includes`; `not_contains`; `not_eq`; `not_includes`; `starts`
`probability_score`	The predicted probability that this Organization will raise a funding round	`between`; `blank`; `eq`; `gt`; `gte`; `lt`; `lte`; `not_eq`
`probability_score_timeseries`	Model timing values grouped into future month intervals	Not compatible with operators

Example response

The historical response is shortened to one funding prediction, including generated_on; other fields and records may be omitted. count is the total matching predictions, while entities contains the returned page. Counts and values can change. Its month-interval values are separate model outputs; the overall score is not a probability for the next five months.

Interpret the response

The response count reports matching funding prediction records. A request returns one page of prediction records, which may include multiple predictions for the same organization. Paginate through the results and group by organization UUID when building a company list. Because this search filters on score before returning records, the newest matching prediction may not be the organization’s newest prediction overall. For a current-company screen, retrieve all predictions for each candidate organization, select the greatest generated_on, then apply the score threshold; see the funding-prediction lookup workflow. Funding predictions describe potential fundraising; they do not predict an acquisition or IPO.

Use the company list for further research after checking each organization’s latest prediction against the score threshold.

Check your result

Check the organization UUID and prediction generation date before using a score. An empty result is not a zero probability. Interpret scores and timing using the prediction definitions.

Search requests here use limit: 3 for a small first page. Follow the pagination guidance above for a complete result set, preserving the filters and ordering. For request failures, use the shared request and retry guidance.
