# Track Press Releases From a List of Companies

**Use case:** 

Paste up to 50 company names and get each company's own PR Newswire press releases in one newest-first feed — releases the company issued, not ones that only mention it. Each record is tagged with the company you watched and carries the headline, tickers, dateline and opening paragraph. Schedule it with watch mode for a daily competitor or account alert. Pay per release.

## Input

```json
{
  "topics": [
    "mergers_acquisitions",
    "executive_appointments"
  ],
  "companies": [
    "Kimberly-Clark",
    "Thor Industries",
    "Gates Corporation"
  ],
  "issuerOnly": false,
  "includeFullBody": false,
  "englishOnly": true,
  "maxReleases": 9,
  "maxReleasesPerCompany": 3,
  "newSinceLastRun": false,
  "watchMode": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/nexgensignal/press-release-monitor-api.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
