What is the VCSheet API?
The VCSheet API provides 9 endpoints covering venture capital investors, funds, reporters, and curated sheets sourced from VCSheet.com. The get_investor_profile endpoint returns portfolio companies, investment criteria, and social links for individual investors, while list_funds and search_funds let you paginate or query the full fund directory. Each resource type supports both bulk listing and individual profile lookups.

}About the VCSheet API
Investors and Funds
The API exposes two parallel resource types: individual investors and venture funds. list_investors returns paginated summaries — including name, title_firm, avg_check, geography, sectors, stages, and social_links — with has_next to walk through all pages. get_investor_profile adds fund affiliation (name, url, slug), a portfolio array of company names, and a whats_unique field describing the investor's stated focus. The fund side mirrors this: list_funds includes leads_rounds and description in summaries, and get_fund_profile returns a partners array of named partners with their own slugs alongside the fund's full portfolio.
Search and Curated Sheets
search_investors and search_funds each accept a query string matched against names and firm/description text, returning matching summaries from the first page of results. list_sheets returns all curated collections on VCSheet with name, count, url, and slug fields. Passing a sheet slug to get_sheet_detail returns the sheet's title and a full items array of investor or fund objects depending on the sheet type — useful for themed lists like sector-specific or stage-specific groupings.
Reporters
list_reporters returns a flat array of journalists and writers who cover venture capital and startups. Each reporter object includes name, publication, location, bio, and social_links. This endpoint has no pagination and takes no input parameters, making it a straightforward single call for the full press contact list.
The VCSheet API is a managed, monitored endpoint for vcsheet.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when vcsheet.com changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official vcsheet.com API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.

Does VCSheet have an official developer API?+
What does `get_investor_profile` return beyond what `list_investors` includes?+
list_investors returns summary fields: name, title_firm, slug, avg_check, geography, sectors, stages, and social_links. get_investor_profile adds the investor's affiliated fund object (with name, url, and slug), a portfolio array of notable company names, and a whats_unique string describing their stated investment focus — none of which appear in the list response.Does `search_investors` or `search_funds` support pagination or filtering by sector or stage?+
query string. They do not accept sector, stage, geography, or check-size filters, and do not support pagination. The list endpoints (list_investors, list_funds) accept a page parameter for full coverage. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add filtered search or multi-page search support.Are investment thesis documents, LP information, or fund financials included in fund profiles?+
get_fund_profile covers stages, sectors, avg_check_size, location, partners, portfolio company names, and a description field. LP data, AUM figures, and formal investment thesis documents are not part of the response. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add any additional fields that become available on VCSheet.Does `list_reporters` include all reporters, or is there a way to filter by beat or publication?+
list_reporters returns the full reporter list in a single call with no filtering parameters. Each object includes publication and bio fields that you can filter client-side by publication name or keyword. Server-side filtering by beat or publication is not currently supported. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add a query parameter for publication or topic filtering.
