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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## PR TIMES Scraper — Japan Press Releases · プレスリリース API **Japan's #1 press-release platform, monitored.** Pull the latest releases from PR TIMES — site-wide or by company — for media monitoring, competitive intelligence, and Japan-market research. Every record is a structured release: headline, issuer, timestamp, deep-link, and summary. ### Run it as a daily wire monitor (schedule) Press-wire coverage is a *standing* job — the announcement you need shouldn't depend on you remembering to check. Schedule this Actor to sweep PR TIMES every morning: ```` Schedule: daily (cron 0 22 \* \* \*) # 07:00 JST Input: { "mode": "by\_company", "companyIds": \[1, 91], "maxResults": 50 } ``` New releases from the companies you track arrive on a cron, feed straight into your monitoring or summarization pipeline. ### What you get (per release) | Field | Example | |---|---| | `title` | AI時代のマッチングアプリ「Yoitoki」… (headline, JA) | | `issuer` | OLA PARTY JAPAN株式会社 | | `date` | 2026-07-05T06:10:02+09:00 (JST) | | `link` | deep-link to the full release page | | `summary` | lede / description | | `categories` | subject tags | Inputs: `mode` (latest_all / by_company), `companyIds` (for by_company), `keywords` (client-side filter), `maxResults` (default 25). **Pricing:** $0.005 actor start + **$0.05 per press release** — about **$1 ≈ 20 releases**. ### 日本語での使い方 **PR TIMES のプレスリリースを監視・取得する API です。** 企業ごと（company_id 指定）または最新の全体フィードから、プレスリリースの見出し・配信元企業・配信日時・リンク・概要を構造化して返します。メディアモニタリング、競合調査、日本市場リサーチに。 - **料金:** 開始 $0.005 ＋ 1件あたり $0.05（**$1 ≈ 20件**）。取得した件数分だけ課金。 - **企業監視の例:** `mode` を `by_company`、`companyIds` に監視したい企業の company_id を指定 → その企業の新着リリースを毎日クロンで取得。 - キーワード: プレスリリース, 配信, 監視, PR TIMES。 ### Use with AI agents ``` Monitor PR TIMES for releases from company IDs \[1, 91] daily; summarize any new announcements in English. ```` Supports the **x402** agent-payment standard (pay-per-event) for autonomous agent use. ### Scope (honest) **Monitor tier:** each record is the release *headline, issuer, date, link, and summary* from the official PR TIMES feed. The **full article body** lives at the release's `link` (the page is JavaScript-rendered); full-text extraction is a planned add-on, not part of this tier. You get everything needed to detect, filter, and route new announcements today. ### Works with The full press-wire family + Japan suite (plain links, both directions): - [pr-newswire-press-releases-scraper](https://apify.com/nexgendata/pr-newswire-press-releases-scraper) · [pr-newswire-asia-press-releases-scraper](https://apify.com/nexgendata/pr-newswire-asia-press-releases-scraper) · [business-wire-press-releases-scraper](https://apify.com/nexgendata/business-wire-press-releases-scraper) · [globenewswire-press-releases-scraper](https://apify.com/nexgendata/globenewswire-press-releases-scraper) · [ein-presswire-press-releases-scraper](https://apify.com/nexgendata/ein-presswire-press-releases-scraper) · [pr-web-press-releases-scraper](https://apify.com/nexgendata/pr-web-press-releases-scraper) — the wire family; PR TIMES is the Japan wire - [japan-tdnet-timely-disclosures](https://apify.com/nexgendata/japan-tdnet-timely-disclosures) · [japan-edinet-insider-filings](https://apify.com/nexgendata/japan-edinet-insider-filings) — Japanese corporate news adjacency - [naver-trends-news](https://apify.com/nexgendata/naver-trends-news) — APAC media monitoring ### Compliance Neutral **media-monitoring data** — public press releases as published on PR TIMES.
