💊 Endpoints News Scraper

Export biopharma trade coverage as flat rows: headline, author, summary, category, tags, publication date and the article link. Filter by keyword or by one of eight category feeds, including deals, FDA and earnings. No API key, no account, no login.

Endpoints News covers the money side of biotech and pharma: acquisitions, licensing, FDA decisions, plant closures, layoffs and earnings. It reads well and exports badly. There is no download, no bulk view, and a keyword search hands back a page you have to read one item at a time. This Actor reads the feeds for you and writes each article into a dataset you can sort, filter and hand to an analyst.

Who uses it	What they use the coverage for
🏥 Healthcare and life science investors	Watching the deals feed for who is buying, who is selling and at what stage
🔬 Corporate development teams	Tracking a target's competitors, trial readouts and regulatory events before an LOI
📊 Analysts covering pharma services	Spotting plant closures, layoffs and capacity moves that reprice a supplier
📰 Newsletter and research writers	Building a searchable archive of headlines and summaries by keyword

📋 What it does

💡 Why it matters: the deals feed is a list of counterparties. Pulled as rows, it becomes a pipeline you can filter by date and keyword instead of a page you scroll.

• 🔎 Filters by keyword. The term is matched against both the headline and the summary, so a company name catches articles that never made it into a title.
• 📂 Eight category feeds. all, regulatory, manufacturing, fda, deals, rd, clinical and earnings.
• 📝 Returns the summary, not just the link. Enough of the opening to judge whether the article matters without opening it.
• 🏷 Carries the article's own tags, for example Pharma, Manufacturing, so one run can be split into several topic lists.
• ✍️ Names the reporter, which is how you find the person covering your sector.
• 💾 Exports to CSV, Excel, JSON or XML, from the run page or the API.

🤖 Use with an AI agent

Give an agent live access to the coverage over the Model Context Protocol:

Then ask it in plain language what moved in the deals feed this week and read the result back.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Do I get the full article text? No. A row carries the headline, the author, the summary the feed publishes, the tags and the link. Open url for the article itself.

Why is summary cut off with three dots? That is how the feed publishes it. The Actor does not shorten it further.

What is the difference between category and tags? category is the single feed the article is filed under. tags is the article's own topic list, which often names more than one.

Can I search a company name that is not in the headline? Yes. The keyword is matched against the summary as well, which catches articles where the company appears in the first paragraph.

How far back does a run go? Each run reads the feed from the newest article backwards until it hits maxItems. Run it on a schedule to build an archive over time.

What can I export? CSV, Excel, JSON and XML from the run page, or JSON straight from the API.

About Acquisition Automation Co.

We build automation for people buying businesses. The repetitive part of an acquisition search, checking listings, pulling public records, tracking owners and assets, is work a machine should do, so the buyer's time goes into judging deals instead of collecting them.

We add new Actors regularly. If there is a source you need and do not see here, tell us.
