Public Newsroom Press Signal Agent

Turn a public newsroom, press, media, company-news, announcements, or events page into a compact market-motion snapshot for sales research, investment research, competitive intelligence, and AI-agent workflows.

The Actor fetches only the supplied public page, parses visible HTML/text, and reports whether the company appears to have public news, announcements, financing, partnerships, awards, media coverage, events, or freshness evidence.

What It Detects

• Newsroom or press-room page type.
• Announcement and launch hints from visible page text.
• Public press-release links.
• Media-coverage links linked from the page.
• Event and webinar hints.
• Funding, investment, acquisition, partnership, and alliance hints.
• Award, recognition, ranking, or analyst-report hints.
• Date hints and freshness signals.
• Optional focus-term matches.
• Risk labels, missing fields, diagnostics, evidence URLs, and a stable newsroomHash.

Safety Boundary

• Public HTTP/HTTPS HTML or text pages only.
• No browser rendering, JavaScript execution, login, cookies, forms, whole-site crawling, private PR databases, social account crawling, or personal enrichment.
• Rejects credentials, path parameters, query strings, fragments, localhost, .local, private/non-global IPs, sensitive account paths, and token-like path segments.
• HTML/text response size is capped at 3 MB, including gzip decompression.
• Discovered links are sanitized and reported as evidence only; they are not fetched.

Pricing Intent

Pricing model: PAY_PER_EVENT

• apify-actor-start: minimum run-start event for a future cloud release.
• useful-newsroom-press-result: charged only for useful newsroom/press snapshots that are new or changed.

Error, partial, unchanged, focus-miss, low-evidence, low-confidence, and low-completeness records should not charge the useful event. Do not configure apify-default-dataset-item.
