# Introduction

Dataverse is a Catalyst SmarBrowz component that allows you perform meaningful data extraction from the internet using easy-to-use Catalyst APIs. 

Dataverse is Catalyst's most efficient data scraping solution that will aid you in creating better strategies to tackle common business pain areas such as competitor analysis, lead nurturing, cross-selling and upselling, data validation and data cleansing and so much more.

Currently Dataverse offers you three powerful APIs to perform complex web scraping operations with utmost ease:

* **Lead Enrichment**: This API allows you to fetch organization information of a company like name, type, revenue, employee count, status, official email address, contact number, and so much more. You enter a few identifying parameters directly in the console and execute a `POST` API, that will fetch all the required details and display all the requested details in a JSON format. 

* **Tech Stack Finder**: You can execute this `POST` API to get a list of the frameworks and technologies a company uses in their product by passing the website URL of the concerned company as a parameter.

* **Similar Companies**: This `POST` API only requires you to enter the website URL of a company. Once the API is executed you will be able to view an extensive list of companies that offer the same or similar services. This significantly cuts down your resources required to conduct market research, and competitor profiling.

> **Note:**

* This component is currently available in its **beta version**, and it is only available to users whose accounts are registered in the **US data center**. Users accessing from other data centers will not be able to avail this feature

* During the beta period, from one Catalyst organization, you can only make **500 calls per month** to the Dataverse APIs as a whole. If you require more API calls to be made, please email your request to support@zohocatalyst.com.

* Any Browser action or operation that you code using the Browser Logic function, or any browser automation or web scraping task that you perform using any component of **Catalyst SmartBrowz** is at your own risk. We strongly recommend you use the SmartBrowz components to perform operations on domains that permit the actions, or with proper approval. Additionally, while Catalyst does provide a secure infrastructure to code your functions, any consequence of the logic you code using Catalyst functions is yours alone.
