What it does
The Business Wire Press Releases Scraper watches Business Wire — one of the two dominant US corporate newswires — by company, ticker or topic, or pulls every recent release. Each release is enriched with headline sentiment, a clean ISO-8601 timestamp and the canonical link. Business Wire offers no bulk reader API of its own, so this actor is the off-the-shelf path to its feed. No login, no key, pay per release.
Who it's for
Equity-research and event-driven trading desks tracking material announcements, IR and PR teams monitoring their own and competitors' wires, and developers feeding announcement signals into dashboards or LLM pipelines.
Sample fields / output
Each row includes title, url, pubDateISO (ISO-8601 publish time), sentimentLabel / sentiment (label plus −1…1 score tuned to flag negative announcements early), and keyword / wire identifying the matched filter and source.
Example use cases
- M &A and product-launch detection — keyword-match deal language across the wire and alert within the hour.
- Portfolio monitoring — run your ticker list on a 1h timespan and log every release to a dataset.
- Negative-news screening — filter on negative sentiment for early warning on recalls, guidance cuts and litigation.

FAQ
Can I monitor specific tickers?
Yes — pass company names or tickers as keywords. Leave keywords empty to pull every recent release across the wire instead.
What timespans are supported?
1h, 24h, 7d and 30d — so you can run it hourly for near-real-time monitoring or daily for a digest.
Is there an API key or login needed?
No. The actor runs without any Business Wire account; you pay per unique release returned, with duplicates de-duplicated and not billed.
