How do I get the companies of a sector?

Pass companies_url to Tracxn company list.

Is there a country version?

Yes. Tracxn geography gives the landscape of one country.

Do I pay for lookups that come back empty?

No. You are charged per result, so a request that finds nothing costs nothing. Testing this against a messy list is free to get wrong.

What does a request cost?

5 points per successful run, which is $5 per 1,000, and only runs that return data are charged. Points come out of your monthly plan allowance.

Startup & Funding Data

You send: the link to a Tracxn sector page, or its id token
You get back: company, funding, unicorn, IPO and acquisition totals, top companies and investors, founding and funding trends by year and country, recent rounds, acquisitions, IPOs and news

Price: 5 pts — $5 per 1,000; Charged only when the record resolves. A request that finds nothing is not billed.

Comparison

Ways to get this data

Three approaches teams use today, and where each one runs into trouble.

Approach	What it takes	Cost	Trade-off
Tracxn directly	Browse Tracxn and note each entry	Free, and slow	Fine for one record, useless across a list, and the layout differs on every platform
Building a scraper	Write it, host it, and repair it when Tracxn changes its pages	Engineering time	A maintenance commitment for something that isn't your product
NeuralVerge	One request, the same shape as every other source in the catalog	$5 per 1,000, misses not billed	Returns what Tracxn publishes at request time. Other platforms are separate sources with the same request format

Integration

How to run it

The same lookup works from the app, the API, or as a tool an agent can call mid-task.

One record per request. Results come back in the same envelope as every other source: a session id, a readable summary, the structured result and the points charged.

curl -X POST https://api.neuralverge.ai/functions/v1/run-tracxn-sectors \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"sector":"https://tracxn.com/d/sectors/media-entertainment/__UjLT6RyYLO8O4V7vH3Q3ShdAwtHKGhed3BIqqt_Jm2A"}'

Handling

This source returns information Tracxn shows publicly. Every response carries the session id you can trace.

What it will not do

—Totals are text with units, such as 314K and $411B, not exact numbers.
—Top companies, investors and recent items are the short lists shown on the sector page.
—The year and country breakdowns are what Tracxn shows and may not cover every year.
