Owler Acquisitions API Documentation

GET https://scrappa.co/api/owler/acquisitions

Owler Acquisitions API lists the companies a company has acquired, with name, slug, logo, description, date, amount when disclosed, an undisclosed flag and source links.

Owler returns the full list in one call. Scrappa slices it with limit and offset. total is the full number of acquisitions. offset, limit and returned describe exactly the slice in acquisitions. An offset past the end returns an empty list.

An unknown slug returns an error and is not billed.
