FAQ

What's GlobeNewswire? A globally used press-release distribution service for corporate, financial, and regulatory news, used by public companies, PR agencies, and news organizations. See globenewswire.com.

Is a login or API key required? No. GlobeNewswire's press-release listings and article pages are fully public.

What industries are covered by byCategory? All 6 top-level GlobeNewswire industries -- Banks & Financial Services, Consumer Products and Services, Energy, Healthcare, Industrials and Utilities, Technology and Telecom -- plus their 33 sub-industries (e.g. Software, Semiconductors, Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, Oil Gas and Coal). Pick a top-level entry to get all its sub-industries combined, or a specific sub-industry.

Why is body sometimes missing? body (and industry, location, keywords, organizationUrl, organizationLogoUrl, imageUrl, attachments) require an extra request per press release to its own detail page. This happens automatically when "Fetch full press-release text" is on (the default), or always in mode=byUrl. With it off, you only get the faster listing-page fields (headline, organization, summary, publishDate).

What are attachments? Some press releases include downloadable files (a PDF version, a supporting image, an investor presentation) alongside the body text. When present, each is returned as { title, url }. Not every release has attachments -- the field is omitted when there are none.

What languages does GlobeNewswire publish in? English, French, and German are GlobeNewswire's three fully supported site editions (filterable via the language input). Some releases also have additional native-language translations (e.g. Simplified/Traditional Chinese) published as separate URLs; these pass through when no language filter is set.

Can I look up all press releases from a specific company? Yes -- use mode=byOrganization with the exact company/organization name as it appears on GlobeNewswire (e.g. Research and Markets, Apple Inc.).

How far back does byDate go? GlobeNewswire's date-search endpoint covers its full historical archive; results are ordered newest article ID first within the range.

How fresh is the data? Real-time -- GlobeNewswire publishes press releases continuously throughout each business day, and this actor scrapes the live site on every run.
