Newsletter Sponsor Finder

Find newsletter sponsors and ad placements from public archives.

Why use this Actor?

Extract sponsor names, offers, and links from public newsletter archive and article pages.

It is built for clean marketplace-ready output: no huge raw HTML dumps, no noisy nested records, and no confusing fields. Each result is a compact business signal that can go directly into a spreadsheet, Airtable, CRM, or monitoring workflow.

Best for

• Find brands buying newsletter ads
• Research sponsorship offers
• Build sponsor prospect lists

Input

The input is intentionally simple:

• startUrls - public pages to analyze
• maxPagesPerStartUrl - how many same-domain pages to inspect
• maxResultsPerPage - maximum clean results saved from each page
• includeEvidence - save a short evidence snippet
• proxyConfiguration - optional Apify proxy settings

Example input

{
  "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://www.morningbrew.com/advertise"
        },

Notes and limitations

• Works on public HTML pages.
• Login-only, CAPTCHA-heavy, and heavily blocked websites may need proxies or may fail.
• The Actor extracts public page signals; it does not access private accounts or restricted data.
• JavaScript-only pages may return fewer results because this lightweight version is optimized for speed and low compute cost.
