Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Search by keyword, browse by industry/category, browse by date range, or filter by source organization -- or fetch specific press releases by URL. Get headlines, full press-release text, publish dates, organizations, industries, and subject keywords. No login, no API key, no cookies required. ### What this actor does - **Five modes:** `search` (keyword), `byCategory` (industry taxonomy), `byDate` (date-range browse), `byOrganization` (source company), `byUrl` (direct fetch) - **Full industry taxonomy:** all 6 top-level GlobeNewswire industries and their 33 sub-industries (Technology, Healthcare, Energy, Banks & Financial Services, Consumer Products, Industrials & Utilities) - **Full press-release text:** headline, dateline location, full body, industry classification, and subject keywords -- pulled from each release's own detail page - **Language filter:** GlobeNewswire publishes in English, French, and German editions; filter to one or leave open for all - **Empty fields are omitted** -- every record only contains fields that were actually found ### Output per press release - `headline` -- the press-release title - `organization` -- the source company/organization - `publishedAt` -- ISO 8601 publish timestamp (when full content is fetched); `publishDate` (YYYY-MM-DD) otherwise - `updatedAt` -- ISO 8601 last-modified timestamp, when GlobeNewswire records an update - `summary` -- a preview/summary of the release - `body` -- the full press-release text (when "Fetch full press-release text" is enabled, or always in mode=byUrl) - `industry` -- GlobeNewswire's own industry classification for the source organization - `category` -- the searched industry/sub-industry title (mode=byCategory only) - `location` -- the press-release's dateline (city, region, country) - `keywords[]` -- subject keywords GlobeNewswire tags the release with - `articleSection[]` -- GlobeNewswire's own content-type tags, e.g. `Press releases`, `Company Announcement` - `language` -- the language edition of this specific press-release URL (`en`, `fr`, `de`, or another native-language code GlobeNewswire also publishes, e.g. `zh-hans`) - `articleId` -- GlobeNewswire's internal numeric article ID - `organizationUrl` -- the source organization's own website (when full content is fetched) - `organizationLogoUrl` -- the source organization's logo image URL, when GlobeNewswire has one on file (when full content is fetched) - `imageUrl` -- the release's featured image URL, when the release has one (when full content is fetched) - `attachments[]` -- attached documents (PDF, image, spreadsheet, etc.) GlobeNewswire published alongside the release, each with `title` and `url` (when full content is fetched, and only for releases that have attachments) - `relatedArticles[]` -- other press releases GlobeNewswire recommends alongside this one (its "Recommended Reading" list, usually from the same source organization), each with `headline` and `url` (when full content is fetched, and only for releases that have any) - `sourceUrl` -- the press-release's canonical URL - `recordType: "pressRelease"`, `scrapedAt` ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `mode` | string | `search` | `search` / `byCategory` / `byDate` / `byOrganization` / `byUrl` | | `searchQuery` | string | `technology` | Free-text keyword (mode=search) | | `category` | string | `technology-telecom` | Industry/sub-industry slug (mode=byCategory) | | `dateFrom` | string | -- | Start date `YYYY-MM-DD` (mode=byDate) | | `dateTo` | string | -- | End date `YYYY-MM-DD` (mode=byDate) | | `organizationName` | string | `Research and Markets` | Source company name (mode=byOrganization) | | `articleUrls` | array | -- | Direct press-release URLs (mode=byUrl) | | `language` | string | (all) | `en` / `fr` / `de` | | `fetchFullContent` | boolean | `true` | Also fetch each release's full body text, industry, location, keywords | | `maxItems` | integer | `20` | Hard cap (1-500) | #### Example: keyword search ```json { "mode": "search", "searchQuery": "artificial intelligence", "maxItems": 30 } ```` #### Example: browse an industry ```json { "mode": "byCategory", "category": "biotechnology", "maxItems": 25 } ``` #### Example: browse a date range ```json { "mode": "byDate", "dateFrom": "2026-07-01", "dateTo": "2026-07-07", "maxItems": 50 } ``` #### Example: all releases from one organization ```json { "mode": "byOrganization", "organizationName": "Apple Inc.", "maxItems": 20 } ``` #### Example: fetch specific releases by URL ```json { "mode": "byUrl", "articleUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/07/17/3328975/0/en/example-press-release.html" } ] } ``` ### Use cases - **Financial research** -- track corporate announcements, earnings-date releases, and M\&A activity from public companies - **Media monitoring** -- follow press releases by industry sector or by a watchlist of source companies - **Investor relations intelligence** -- monitor competitors' or portfolio companies' newswire activity - **Content aggregation** -- feed GlobeNewswire's industry taxonomy into a news dashboard or newsletter - **Market research** -- collect industry-specific press releases (e.g. all Biotechnology or Semiconductors releases in a date window) - **PR/comms benchmarking** -- see how frequently and in which sections a company or its competitors get covered ### 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](https://www.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. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to fetch. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Free-text keyword to search press-release headlines and body text for, e.g. `artificial intelligence`. ## `category` (type: `string`): GlobeNewswire's own industry taxonomy. Pick a top-level industry (all sub-industries) or a specific sub-industry. ## `dateFrom` (type: `string`): Start date (inclusive), format YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to `dateTo` if left blank. ## `dateTo` (type: `string`): End date (inclusive), format YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to `dateFrom` if left blank. ## `organizationName` (type: `string`): Exact company/organization name as it appears on GlobeNewswire, e.g. `Apple Inc.` or `Research and Markets`. ## `articleUrls` (type: `array`): Direct globenewswire.com press-release URLs to fetch full text for. ## `language` (type: `string`): Only return press releases published in this language edition. Leave unset for all languages GlobeNewswire returns for the query. ## `fetchFullContent` (type: `boolean`): For each result, also visit its press-release page to collect the full body text, industry classification, dateline location, and subject keywords. Slower -- one extra request per result. Not used in mode=byUrl, which always fetches full content. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on the number of press releases to return. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "search", "searchQuery": "technology", "category": "technology-telecom", "organizationName": "Research and Markets", "articleUrls": [], "language": "", "fetchFullContent": true, "maxItems": 20 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `pressReleases` (type: `string`): Dataset containing all scraped GlobeNewswire press releases. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
