📚 ZeroHedge records that keep the source context

The default dataset stores one row for each saved article. Required fields include the source article ID, title, canonical URL, author, publication time, section, full article text, and original HTML. Optional fields add the author photo, source-published counts, images, premium status, summary, and embedded video IDs when available.

Main value

Collect source content and structured metadata together, then use the dataset link in the run output for review, export, or your own analysis.

▶️ Run the ZeroHedge article scraper

Choose a source

Use the sitewide feed, selected public sections, or one or more direct article URLs.

Add filters

Match text in the title or body, set a UTC publication date, and turn on the new-or-changed option for a recurring monitor.

Set the work limit

For feed and section runs, set Maximum articles to stop after a chosen count. Leave it empty to return all available matching articles until the source is exhausted. Direct URL runs use the submitted URLs.

❓ FAQ

Can I collect one known article?

Yes. Choose Direct URLs and submit one or more public ZeroHedge article URLs.

Can I collect only one section or match a topic?

Yes. Choose Selected sections, or use the text match field to keep articles whose title or body contains your text.

Can I limit results by date?

Yes. Set Published after with the UTC calendar date in YYYY-MM-DD format.

What happens when the work limit is empty?

Feed and section runs return all available matching articles until the source is exhausted. Direct URL runs use the submitted URLs.

What does Only new or changed articles do?

Turn it on for a recurring monitor. The run keeps only articles that are new or changed since that monitor's previous run.

Why might an optional field be missing?

The Actor keeps fields that the public source provides. If the source does not publish an optional value, that field is omitted rather than filled with a placeholder.

Do I need a ZeroHedge login or API key?

No. The Actor collects publicly available ZeroHedge articles without customer authentication.

Does this Actor give investment advice?

No. It returns source content and metadata. It does not provide investment recommendations, sentiment analysis, or trading decisions.
