🙋 Why use it

• I work in investor relations or at a PR agency and track what peers and competitors announce. I watch a list of companies and read each new release the day it appears.
• I am a financial analyst or trader following earnings, dividends, offerings and mergers. I filter by category and ticker and skip class action advertising with exclude words.
• I do sales or business development and want companies that just raised money, launched a product or hired an executive. The media contact emails and phones come with the row.
• I am a journalist or researcher building a timeline on a topic. I search a phrase over a date range and export headline, time, company and link.
• I feed an AI or alerting workflow and need clean, current text. I schedule the monitor and pass only new releases, with the full text, downstream.

🧩 What you can get

• Where to look: the full newest-first feed, English-only or public-company feeds, 17 language editions, 235 category and industry lists, a company's newsroom, keyword or phrase search, or any prnewswire.com address you paste.
• Filters: keywords with exact phrases, headline-only matching, exclude words, companies, stock tickers, language codes, publish window by date or relative time ("2 days"), only releases with photos or video, only releases with a contact block, minimum word count and a cap per company.
• List-only rows (fast): headline, publish time, teaser, image and language.
• Full release rows (optional): company and newsroom link, sub-headline, last update time, dateline city and date, stock tickers with exchange, tags, word count, About text, contact block with emails and phones, outbound links, photos and videos, related releases from the same company, and the full text.
• Monitor mode: give the run a name and it returns only releases it has not shown before. The run summary lists the new release ids, so a scheduled run can feed an alert.
• Run summary: sources read, releases scanned and saved, why releases were skipped, and the companies that matched no newsroom.

❓ FAQ

Does it need a login, account or API key?

No. The Actor reads only pages that anyone can open on prnewswire.com without signing in. It never uses cookies, tokens or accounts.

How do I get only new press releases on a schedule?

Type a name into the monitor name field and schedule the Actor. The first run returns the current matches, or only saves a baseline if you turn that option on. Every later run with the same name returns only releases it has not shown before, and the run summary lists their ids.

Are media contact emails and phone numbers included?

Yes, when the release prints a contact section and you turn on full release pages. The contact block, the email addresses and the phone numbers are copied exactly as printed. Releases without a contact section have no contact fields.

Which filters make a run slower?

Tickers, photo or video, contact block, minimum word count and the per-company cap need the full release page, so the Actor opens each candidate. A plain feed, category or keyword run only reads list pages and finishes in seconds.

Why did I get fewer results than my maximum?

Strict filters remove releases, and the run stops at the scan limit so it never walks the whole archive. The run summary shows how many releases were scanned and why they were skipped. Raise the scan limit or loosen a filter.

How fresh is the data?

Every run reads the live site, so a release shows up as soon as PR Newswire lists it. Times are converted to UTC.

Can I get releases in German, French or Spanish?

Yes. Choose a language edition as the release feed, or filter by language code. Search results include every language the site returns for your keyword.
