Get company acquisitions
Returns the acquisitions a company is involved in (both deals where it was the acquirer and deals where it was the acquiree), newest first. Every row carries both sides, so you can tell the direction of each deal. Use either acquirer_company_id or acquiree_company_id with Get company by ID to pull the other party’s full record.
What you need
A Specter companyId in the path. If you only have a domain, website, or name, get the ID first with Find company ID (batch, free), or find it by name with Search entities by name.
Narrow the range with acquired_date_after / acquired_date_before, and walk it with page and limit.
