deadpool

[Ninjamonk]

Hi Guys, I would love the ability to get deadpooled companies out.

I built the deadpoolornot game a while back (over a year a go). I am
rebuilding it but still after all this time there is not a method for
just returning a list of companies that have been deadpooled.

The new version will let people create their own deadpoolornot quiz's
but they are going to have to search for a company's by name and by
memory to find deadpooled companies.

I know I could import the whole crunchbase into a database and then
just query that but this is only a flex based project so I am trying
not to get into backend stuff.

Cheers

Darren - are you using the API to pull the info into the game? There's
an element in it called "deadpooled_year" (as well as _month, _day) -
if that's null, the company hasn't deadpooled. Seems like it would get
you the info you need. If you can provide some more details about how
you're going about this I may be able to be more helpful.

Hi Andy, I used that method when I got the data for the first edition
of the game.

I would like a deadpool endpoint to page through the deadpool entries.
There is a section on the cbase site where you can browsed deadpooled
companies but nothing in the api.



Kind Regards
