What it does
The PR Newswire Asia Press Releases Scraper pulls structured press releases from en.prnasia.com, Cision's English-language Asia distribution arm. The wire carries roughly 200 English releases a day from mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia and India — and this is the only English-language Asia press wire available on the Apify Store. The actor routes through residential proxy automatically to handle the site's aggressive rate limiting.
Who it's for
Anyone tracking Chinese ADR earnings, Southeast-Asia IPOs, Japanese M&A, Korean tech announcements or India filings who needs the announcements in English the moment they hit the wire — equity research, event-driven funds, and Asia-focused news products.
Sample fields / output
Every release includes the canonical URL, Cision release ID, headline, description / lead paragraph, full body text, ISO-8601 UTC publish and modification timestamps, source company, dateline location, region bucket, distribution category, and primary image URL.
Example use cases
- Asia IPO and M &A monitoring — filter by region and keyword to catch deal announcements from native Asia issuers.
- ADR earnings coverage — track Chinese ADR issuers whose releases hit the Asia wire before English media pick them up.
- Regional news products — pipe the full-text feed into a translation-free English Asia news dataset.

FAQ
How is this different from the PR Newswire US scraper?
PR Newswire US focuses on US-domiciled issuers. PR Newswire Asia (en.prnasia.com) distributes ~200 English releases a day from native Asia issuers — mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia and India — that rarely appear on the US wire.
Can I filter by region?
Yes — the region input accepts all, china, hk, japan, korea, sea or india. The sea bucket covers Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines.
Do I get the full release text?
Yes. Each row includes the headline, lead paragraph and full body text, plus ISO-8601 publish and modification timestamps parsed from the page's JSON-LD.
