New: Business Wire Press Releases Scraper — company announcement monitoring with sentiment

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.
