Crunchbase has made significant improvements to our data offering including broader data coverage, new endpoints, AI-powered predictive company intelligence, and more. 

What exactly does this mean for you?

You’re required to migrate your Legacy Crunchbase API Key to a new Crunchbase API Key. Updating your key ensures long-term scalability for your integrations, seamless access to improved data quality, enhanced ease-of-use, and ultimately a better support experience.

This change applies to customers using our API, CSV exports, and Enrichment products — even if you don’t work directly with an API, your team may rely on a key behind the scenes.

Below, we’ll walk you through exactly what you need to do to complete your API key migration.

What do I need to do?

If you have a Legacy API key or CSV plan, you are required to migrate to a new Crunchbase API Key. 

We’ve designed the process to be straightforward and as low-lift as possible. You should have received a notice from the Crunchbase team outlining:

  • Your migration timeline and required completion date
  • The steps to access your new API key
  • Links to documentation and available support resources

Need a quick rundown? Here’s what to do: 

  1. Retrieve your new API key:
    • Login to Crunchbase
    • Go to Account Settings > Integrations > Crunchbase API.
    • 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. Understand how your team uses Crunchbase data:
  3. Test and implement the new API key:
    • Update all the relevant mappings
    • Validate that your integration is working correctly
    • Once you’ve completed that review, let our team know and we’ll deprecate your legacy API key

Please note: Once your Legacy API key is deprecated, it will no longer be usable. It is important that you test all the required mappings so no calls or queries break.
