List Companies Acquired by a Company
View all Crunchbase Company & Investment Data endpoints →Retrieve acquisition records for companies acquired by a selected organization. The required company accepts a Crunchbase permalink, UUID or organization URL. The optional page accepts 1 through 100 and defaults to 1. The optional sort accepts announced, price or rank and defaults to announced. The documented behavior limits announced and price sorting to one page; rank is the choice for deeper pagination. No fixed page size or complete historical coverage is established. The documented response excerpt shows company, acquisitions_count, acquired_by, count, current_page and items. The company object contains id, uuid, name, type, link and image. Each illustrated acquisition record contains acquiree and acquirer identity objects with those same identity fields, plus acquiree_categories and acquirer_categories as lists of id/name pairs. acquiree_location and acquirer_location contain city, continent, country, region, groups and ids. Other illustrated fields are acquiree_funding_total, acquiree_last_funding_type, acquirer_funding_total, acquisition_type, announced_on, completed_on, id, uuid, link, name, price, rank, short_description, status and terms. This field inventory comes from an unverified, truncated source example; there is no live probe for this endpoint in the supplied evidence. Funding totals, acquisition_type, announcement and completion dates, price, short_description, status and terms are null in the illustrated record, and acquired_by is null in the response excerpt. Null amounts or dates are unknown, not zero or evidence that no transaction occurred. The semantics and relationship of count and acquisitions_count are not independently verified; retain the reported values without treating them as a completeness guarantee.

Use Cases
- Create a strategic buyer's target map using acquired-company identities, reported sectors and locations without assuming that every historical deal is covered.
- Compare acquisition footprints across a selected peer set by requesting each buyer separately and retaining the company identifier, requested sort, page and snapshot time.
- Collect candidate acquisitions for a due-diligence review queue using rank pagination, then flag null price, announcement date or completion date for separate verification.
- Attach acquisition context to existing target-company records by matching acquiree identifiers, while preserving the buyer relationship instead of confusing it with who acquired the selected company.
Frequently asked questions
Does this endpoint list companies the selected company acquired or who acquired it?
It is documented to list companies acquired by the selected organization. Each illustrated item distinguishes acquiree, the target, from acquirer, the buyer. The response excerpt also contains an acquired_by field, but it is null and should not be used to reverse the purpose of this endpoint.
Which company identifier formats are accepted?
The required company parameter accepts a Crunchbase permalink such as google, a company UUID or a crunchbase.com/organization/ URL. It is not documented as a free-text company-name search.
How do sort and page interact for acquisitions?
sort accepts announced, price and rank; announced is the default. The documentation says announced and price return one page, while rank pages deeper. page defaults to 1 and accepts 1 through 100, so use rank when attempting deeper pagination. A fixed page size is not established.
Will acquisition prices and deal dates always be available?
No. In the unverified source example, price, announced_on and completed_on are null, as are several other deal-detail fields. Treat missing amounts and dates as unknown, not as zero-price transactions or proof that a deal did not occur.
Does the acquisition response prove that I have a complete deal history?
No. The supplied evidence is a truncated source example rather than a live probe for this endpoint. It shows count, acquisitions_count and current_page, but their exact relationship and complete historical coverage are unverified. Preserve those values and the requested sort and page with your snapshot.
