Updating Legacy CSV Workflows

How to update your CSV export workflows with your new Crunchbase API key

What’s Changed with Key Access? Crunchbase has moved away from legacy API keys and introduced new packaging tiers based on access to Crunchbase’s proprietary company intelligence. If you’re a legacy customer, your new API key and CSV access has been provisioned to a package that reflects your current contract and level of access.

What steps do I need to take? This guide explains how to retrieve your new API key, complete the migration, and update your Legacy CSV export URLs to keep data flowing as expected.

  1. Retrieve your new API key
    1. Login to Crunchbase >Go to Account Settings > Integrations > Crunchbase API.
    2. You’ll see your updated API package (the package will be reflective of your legacy plan’s access) - click “Show Key” to access your new API key
  2. Update your CSV Export URLS
    1. Replace your old API key by appending your new key to the end of the appropriate CSV export URL. What does this look like? For example, to access Crunchbase’s Organizations export, the updated URL format would look like: https://api.crunchbase.com/v4/data/static_exports/organizations.zip?user_key=YOURNEW CRUNCHBASE API KEY
    2. Once updated, simply paste the full url into your browser and hit Enter to begin downloading that legacy CSV file. Linked is full list of exportable CSVs and their corresponding URLs.
  3. Test and Confirm Your Migration
    1. After updating and testing all CSV URLs with your new key, confirm that the correct files are downloading.
    2. Once validated, notify our team that the new key is in use so we can deprecate your legacy key.

Note on CSV Tables and Columns Update

  • All legacy CSV export requests have been mapped to their equivalents using the new Crunchbase API key.

  • We’ve retained legacy table names while introducing new tables to reflect our expanded data offerings. You may notice slight updates to some column names — these have been aligned with the field names used in Crunchbase API responses.

For additional details, including available tables and changes to CSV fields, refer to the migration guide on Crunchbase's Knowledge Center.
