GlobeNewswire Scraper & Real-Time Press Release Monitor

What does GlobeNewswire Scraper & Real-Time Press Release Monitor do?

GlobeNewswire Continuous Monitor watches GlobeNewswire for new press releases and checks each one against a list of stock tickers and keywords you define. Every filing is saved to an Apify dataset, and when a release matches both a ticker and a keyword, real-time alerts are dispatched to your Telegram, Discord, or Slack channel — all without any infrastructure to manage on your end.

The actor runs continuously — start it once and it keeps checking GlobeNewswire on an interval until you cancel it. The Apify platform handles automatic retries, proxy rotation, persistent visited-filing tracking across restarts, and full dataset history accessible via API or export.

Example input

{
    "tickers": "AAPL\nMSFT\nNVDA",
    "keywords": "acquisition\npartnership\nFDA approval",
    "languages": ["en"],
    "telegram_bot_token": "123456:ABC-xyz",
    "telegram_chat_id": "-1001234567890",
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false }
}

An alert fires only when at least one ticker AND at least one keyword both appear in the same filing.

Output

Every press release is pushed to the default dataset. If you set language, industry, or stock-only filters, the dataset will contain only the matching filings.

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel from the Storage tab.

How much does it cost to monitor GlobeNewswire?

Each poll processes a batch of the most recent filings — one HTTP request per new article. On Apify's free tier you get $5/month of compute, which is more than enough for hourly scheduled runs.

For high-frequency monitoring, costs remain minimal — HTTP-only crawling (no browser) keeps compute usage very low.

Notifications (Telegram/Discord/Slack) are charged per dispatch event at a symbolic amount only.

Tips & Advanced Options

• Continuous operation — Start the actor once and let it run. It checks for new filings on an interval and stops only when you cancel it (or hit the max_items limit, if set).
• Broad keyword matching — Keywords are matched as whole words, so apple won't trigger on pineapple.
• Stock-only mode — Enable stock_only to skip general press releases and keep only filings tied to a specific security.
• Multiple notification channels — All three channels (Telegram, Discord, Slack) can be configured simultaneously and are notified in parallel.
• Export for analysis — Use the dataset API endpoint or download as CSV/JSON to feed filings into a spreadsheet, database, or NLP pipeline.
• Proxy for stability — If you run the Actor very frequently, enable Apify Proxy to avoid rate-limit errors from GlobeNewswire.
• LLM & automation ready — the dataset output is clean, structured JSON with no HTML artifacts, ready to feed directly into LLM pipelines (OpenAI, Claude, etc.), n8n workflows, Zapier automations, or custom RAG systems without any preprocessing.

Combine with PR Newswire Filing Monitor and SEC GOV Filing Monitor

For complete market intelligence, pair this Actor with the PR Newswire Filing Monitor and the SEC GOV Filing Monitor — which watches SEC EDGAR for official regulatory filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1, etc.).

Actor	Source	Best for
GlobeNewswire Continuous Monitor	GlobeNewswire	Press releases, earnings announcements, product launches, partnerships
PR Newswire Filing Monitor	PR Newswire	Press releases, earnings announcements, product launches, partnerships
SEC GOV Filing Monitor	SEC EDGAR	Regulatory filings, insider transactions, IPO prospectuses, material events

Running all three on the same ticker watchlist and scheduling them in parallel gives you full coverage — the moment a company puts out a press release on either wire or files with the SEC, you get an alert. All three Actors share the same notification channels (Telegram, Discord, Slack) and output structured dataset formats, making it easy to merge or compare results downstream.

FAQ, Disclaimers & Support

Why am I not receiving alerts? Make sure both tickers and keywords are set — alerts only fire when both match. Double-check your bot token, chat ID, or webhook URL.

The Actor runs but the dataset is empty. GlobeNewswire may have returned no new items since the last check (all were already in visited-filings), or your filters (languages, target_industries, stock_only) may be excluding everything. Try clearing the visited-filings key-value store in the Apify Console to reset the cache.
