crunchbase-event

Fetch detailed event profiles from Crunchbase including dates, venue, speakers, sponsors, and organizers.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 22+
• If CDP connection fails during auth, launch Chrome yourself with https://www.crunchbase.com as the initial URL (see chrome-cdp agent guidance)
• If Chrome is already running via CDP but no Crunchbase tab is open: node skills/chrome-cdp/scripts/cdp.mjs open https://www.crunchbase.com
• If the user is not logged in to Crunchbase, ask them to log in in the Chrome window, then re-run auth

Setup

node crunchbase-event.mjs auth

Usage

# View event by permalink (from Crunchbase URL)
node crunchbase-event.mjs view techcrunch-disrupt-2024
node crunchbase-event.mjs view web-summit-2024

# View by UUID
node crunchbase-event.mjs view 6acfa7da-1dbd-936e-d985-cf07a1b27711

# Section commands (speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, contestants, news)
node crunchbase-event.mjs speakers techcrunch-disrupt-2024
node crunchbase-event.mjs sponsors web-summit-2024 --count=50
node crunchbase-event.mjs exhibitors techcrunch-disrupt-2024
node crunchbase-event.mjs contestants techcrunch-disrupt-2024
node crunchbase-event.mjs news techcrunch-disrupt-2024 --count=20

# Pagination
node crunchbase-event.mjs speakers techcrunch-disrupt-2024 --after-id=<UUID>

How it works

1. auth — Extracts cookies from Chrome via CDP
2. view — Resolves permalink to UUID via search API, then fetches entity from /v4/data/entities/events/{uuid}
3. Section commands — Use the overrides endpoint (POST /v4/data/entities/events/{permalink}/overrides) to fetch paginated section data (speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, contestants, news)

Available fields: identifier, starts_on, ends_on, location_identifiers, short_description, description, event_url, venue_name, categories, category_groups, num_speakers, num_sponsors, num_exhibitors, num_contestants, num_organizers, organizer_identifiers, registration_url, event_type, rank_event

Data storage

~/.local/share/showrun/data/crunchbase-event/
├── session.json     Auth cookies
└── cache/           Event detail JSON files

Session expiry

Re-run auth on 401/403 errors.
