API Reference

Acquisitions

Companies that got acquired, and who bought them. An acquisition reshuffles vendors, leadership and headcount on both sides: the buyer is integrating and often spending, the target may be losing decision-makers or replacing its tools. Sync this feed to reach both while the change is under way.

Quick start

Acquisitions Fundz has added since September 1:

curl -H "Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.fundz.net/acquisitions?created_from=2026-09-01"

Endpoint

GEThttps://api.fundz.net/acquisitions
A paginated list of acquisitions, newest first, 25 per page.

Send your API key in the Authorization header. Keys come from Account > API Keys in the app, on a Pro or Strategic plan. See Authentication and limits for the daily call allowance and error formats.

curl -H "Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY" \

curl -H "Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY" \

Query parameters

All parameters are optional. Location, industry and size filters apply to the acquirer (the buyer), not the company acquired.

ParameterTypeDescription
created_fromdateOnly records Fundz added on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Filters on created_at, the day Fundz captured the event.
created_todateOnly records Fundz added on or before this date (YYYY-MM-DD).
locationsstringComma-separated place names, matched to Fundz locations. Places inside a match are included, so California covers its cities. Applies to the acquirer.
industriesstringComma-separated industry names, exact name match (case-insensitive), for example Software,Fintech. Applies to the acquirer. Without this parameter, companies tagged as investment funds are left out.
number_of_employees_minintegerSmallest acquirer headcount to include.
number_of_employees_maxintegerLargest acquirer headcount to include.
employee_rangesstringSeveral size bands at once, comma-separated: 1-49,500-1000,10000- (a trailing dash means no upper limit). A record matches if it falls in any band. Overrides the min and max parameters.
pageintegerPage number, starting at 1. Pages hold 25 records. A page past the end returns an empty data array.

This feed does not accept organization_name. To see one company's deals, use Company profile.

Check your spelling
Names in locations and industries are looked up one by one. A name that matches nothing is dropped without an error, and if every name is dropped that filter is not applied at all. A typo therefore returns unfiltered results. Compare meta.total_count against what you expect.

Records come newest first (by created_at), 25 per page. meta tells you where you are and how many calls you have left today. When nothing matches, the response also carries a guidance object with suggestions. The _attribution and _licensing keys travel with every response; see Authentication and limits.
