❓ FAQ

🔍 How does the scraper work? The PR Newswire Scraper searches PR Newswire using your keywords, date range, and filters, then extracts detailed data from each matching press release including text, metadata, contact info, and media attachments.

📊 How accurate is the data? We extract data directly from PR Newswire's official website. All data is current and verified against the live source. Accuracy depends on the completeness of information provided by the original press release publishers.

📅 Can I schedule this to run automatically? Yes. You can set up automatic runs on a schedule using Apify's scheduling feature or integrate with Zapier, Make, or GitHub Actions for daily monitoring.

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape PR Newswire? Press releases are published for public distribution. However, you are responsible for complying with PR Newswire's terms of service and local laws regarding data collection and use.

🛡️ Will PR Newswire block me? PR Newswire is designed to be publicly accessible. The scraper uses best practices including rate limiting and appropriate delays. If you experience blocking, we recommend enabling residential proxies in your actor configuration.
