Hi guys, do you have any tips how I can scrape the revenue from an account? I've wrote a prompt, but in some cases the output is correct and in some cases not, but this list need to be accurate.

    To accurately scrape revenue from an account using a prompt, follow these steps: 1. Use our "write to table" feature to structure your data. 2. Define column outputs for specific data points, including one for revenue. 3. Structure your prompt using the S.P.I.C.E. framework: • #VARIABLES# • #CONTEXT# • #INSTRUCTIONS# • #EXAMPLES# (optional for web scraping) 4. In the #INSTRUCTIONS# section, clearly specify how to extract and output the revenue data. For example: "Extract the revenue figure and output it to the 'Revenue' field." 5. Be specific in your instructions to ensure accuracy. Consider including formatting guidelines or examples of how the revenue might appear in the account data. By following these steps, you'll create a more structured and accurate prompt for scraping revenue data.

    I've checked some of the figures, but most of them are not accurate

    Depending on what kind of company you're looking at this may be more or less difficult. I.e. large publicly traded companies are much easier to get an accurate number on whereas private startups are just that, private. If you're into Pitchbook we could try this enrichment to see if revenue metrics or more accurate. Let me know your thoughts and how we can best assist here! :)
