PR Newswire Filing Monitor & Alert

What does PR Newswire Filing Monitor do?

PR Newswire Filing Monitor scrapes the PR Newswire 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 polls PR Newswire on 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.

Why use PR Newswire Filing Monitor?

• Investor research — catch earnings announcements, M&A news, or product launches the moment they hit the wire.
• Competitive intelligence — track competitor tickers or brand keywords and get pinged on every press release.
• Compliance & risk monitoring — watch for regulatory filings or keywords like "FDA", "recall", or "settlement".
• News aggregation — build a structured dataset of press releases for downstream analysis or NLP pipelines.
• No-code alerts — configure once in the Apify Console, schedule it, and let notifications come to you.
• Active traders — get notified within seconds of a press release hitting the wire, before price action reflects the news. Combine with the scheduler running every minute for near real-time coverage.

Example input

Every press release is pushed to the default dataset. If you have filters per industry/language the dataset will contain only them.

How much does it cost to monitor PR Newswire?

PR Newswire's returns the latest ~30 filings per poll. Each run processes ~30 HTTP requests (one per 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 (every 1–5 minutes), 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 polls the news and stops only when you cancel it (Or hit the Max item limit if set). No external scheduler needed.
• Broad keyword matching — Keywords are matched as whole words (word-boundary regex), so apple won't trigger on pineapple.
• 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 HTTP 429 rate-limit errors from PR Newswire.
• 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 GlobeNewswire Scraper & Real-Time Press Release Monitor and SEC GOV Filing Monitor

For complete market intelligence, pair this Actor with the GlobeNewswire Continuous 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
PR Newswire Filing Monitor	PR Newswire	Press releases, earnings announcements, product launches, partnerships
GlobeNewswire Scraper & Real-Time Press Release Monitor	GlobeNewswire	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. PR Newswire may have returned no new items since the last run (all were already in visited-filings). Try clearing the visited-filings key-value store in the Apify Console to reset the cache.
