Real rows from a real run (2026-09-24), unedited apart from masked emails/phones and shortened long text; fields the source does not publish are empty.

🔧 Input reference

Field	Type	Default	What it does
`keyword`	string	`""`	Search keyword. Empty = no keyword filter (returns latest releases). Example: 'earnings', 'IPO', 'Microsoft', 'partnership'.
`dateFrom`	string	`""`	Earliest publication date (UTC, inclusive). Requires includeFullBody=true to be effective (date filter uses detail-page JSON-LD).
`dateTo`	string	`""`	Latest publication date (UTC, inclusive). Requires includeFullBody=true to be effective.
`includeFullBody`	boolean	`false`	If true, follow each release URL to fetch the full body text + JSON-LD metadata (datePublished, dateModified, description, tickers extracted via regex). Adds ~0.4s per release. If…
`maxReleases`	integer	`5`	Max releases to return (1–2000). Each release is one dataset row. ~25 releases per list page; pagination is automatic.
`proxyConfiguration`	object	`{"useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]}`	Proxy used for retries. The actor fetches each page directly first and, if PR Newswire blocks or times out, retries it on a fresh session from this proxy. Keep RESIDENTIAL: PR Newswire sometimes walls datacenter IPs on paginated requests. Leaving it off means no fallback route.

}

⏰ Run this as a daily press-release feed (recommended)

Point it at your keywords, schedule it, and new releases land in your dataset every day. The inputs are keyword and maxReleases (plus optional dateFrom / dateTo and includeFullBody):

{
  "keyword": "Microsoft",
  "maxReleases": 50,
  "includeFullBody": true
}

Daily cron (0 8 * * *) turns this into an always-on newsroom feed — ready for an agent to summarize.

How the keyword works. PR Newswire's own search is used first (it matches the release body too), so a keyword like Microsoft returns releases that mention Microsoft, not only releases issued by Microsoft. Filter on the title / body_text fields downstream when you need issuer-only results. Leave keyword empty for the latest releases across the wire.

Older releases. PR Newswire's own search only reaches back about six months. When it runs out before your maxReleases, the actor tops up with older PR Newswire releases that contain your keyword, newest first. Each one is read from its PR Newswire page and kept only if the keyword is in the release. These rows carry found_via: "older_release_archive"; rows from the search carry "prnewswire_search".

Dates. dateFrom / dateTo filter on the published date from each release page, so they need includeFullBody: true (that is where the date comes from). Without it, a run returns the newest releases regardless of date.

What a blocked source looks like. If PR Newswire refuses the list page, the run retries on fresh IPs and falls back to the wire's RSS feed (latest 20); anything partial is labelled truncated: true with the reason, and a run that delivered nothing fails with "SOURCE BLOCKED".

📊 What you get

Clean JSON, one record per release (full output has 13 fields):

body_text — Body text
category — reserved; always null (PR Newswire exposes no filterable per-release category)
country — reserved; always null (PR Newswire exposes no country filter/field)
date_modified — Date modified
date_published — Date published
description — Description
image_url — Image url
source — Source
summary — Summary
tickers — Tickers

🤖 Use with AI agents

Point Claude, the OpenAI Agents SDK, an n8n flow or any MCP-aware client at it and run PR Newswire press-release monitoring on demand.

Sample agent prompt:

Summarize today's PR Newswire releases mentioning a company or sector.

Run it on a schedule

A daily run is the natural cadence for PR Newswire: companies put out releases all day, and a morning run picks up everything since the last one. If you track fast-moving names, such as companies with earnings or deal news due, you can run it several times a day. Each run brings new releases rather than updated old ones. The actor has no built-in new-only mode, so set maxReleases to cover one day's volume for your keyword and compare runs by url to drop releases you already have. Send each run's results onward with a webhook, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make or the Bytewells API.

FAQ

Why use this instead of the official PR Newswire website?

The website is free to read, but it is built for browsing. This actor runs a keyword search, handles pagination, and returns one clean JSON row per release. With includeFullBody on, it also opens each release and adds the full body text, published and modified dates, and stock tickers pulled from the text. It needs no API key, you pay per release, and it runs on a schedule as a daily feed.

What does a typical run cost?

One flat monthly price, with a free trial; there is no per-row charge. Bytewells bills compute separately from your prepaid credit, by memory and run time.

Is PR Newswire data available as JSON?

Yes. Each release comes back as a JSON row with URL, title, time label, summary, image URL and source. Set includeFullBody to true to add body_text, date_published, date_modified, description and tickers. The category and country fields are always empty, because PR Newswire does not expose them per release.

Can I get only press releases issued by a specific company?

Not directly. The keyword uses PR Newswire's own search, which also matches the release body, so Microsoft returns releases that mention Microsoft, not only ones Microsoft issued. Filter on title or body_text afterwards when you need issuer-only results.

Can I filter press releases by date?

Yes, with dateFrom and dateTo, but only when includeFullBody is true, because the published date comes from each release page. Without it, a run returns the newest releases regardless of date.

What happens if PR Newswire blocks the run?

The actor retries on fresh IPs and then falls back to the wire's RSS feed, which holds the latest 20 releases. Partial results are marked truncated: true with the reason. A run that delivers nothing fails with "SOURCE BLOCKED". Keep the default residential proxy, because PR Newswire blocks paginated requests from datacenter IPs.

How it is billed on Bytewells

One flat monthly price for this actor, with a free trial to start. There is no charge per row, per result or per run from us.

Compute is billed separately by Bytewells from your prepaid credit, by memory and run time (per second). If a run uses the platform's proxy, Bytewells adds that traffic to the same run's compute bill.

Run it from the API

Bytewells speaks the same API as Apify, so curl or apify-client work with the Bytewells address and your Bytewells API key.

curl -X POST "https://bytewells.com/api/v2/acts/nexgendata~pr-newswire-press-releases-scraper/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_BYTEWELLS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keyword": "", "issuerOnly": false, "dateFrom": "", "dateTo": "", "includeFullBody": false, "maxReleases": 5, "proxyConfiguration": {"useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]}}'

# when the run has finished, read its rows:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_BYTEWELLS_API_KEY" \
  "https://bytewells.com/api/v2/actor-runs/RUN_ID/dataset/items"

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_BYTEWELLS_API_KEY", api_url="https://bytewells.com/api")
run = client.actor("nexgendata/pr-newswire-press-releases-scraper").call(run_input={'keyword': '', 'issuerOnly': False, 'dateFrom': '', 'dateTo': '', 'includeFullBody': False, 'maxReleases': 5, 'proxyConfiguration': {'useApifyProxy': True, 'apifyProxyGroups': ['RESIDENTIAL']}})
for row in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(row)

Input

Preview of the input form. Rent the Actor to fill it in and start runs from the console.

Fields

Keyword (optional)

keyword

Search keyword. Empty = no keyword filter (returns latest releases). Example: 'earnings', 'IPO', 'Microsoft', 'partnership'.

Issuer only (releases BY the keyword company)

issuerOnly

PR Newswire's search matches the keyword anywhere in a release, so 'Microsoft' also returns releases by other companies that mention Microsoft. Turn this on to keep only releases whose issuer (the 'SOURCE' organisation on the release) contains the keyword. Needs the release page, so it is fetched even when includeFullBody is off.

Date from (YYYY-MM-DD, optional)

dateFrom

Earliest publication date (UTC, inclusive). Requires includeFullBody=true to be effective (date filter uses detail-page JSON-LD).

Date to (YYYY-MM-DD, optional)

dateTo

Latest publication date (UTC, inclusive). Requires includeFullBody=true to be effective.

Include full release body

includeFullBody

If true, follow each release URL to fetch the full body text + JSON-LD metadata (datePublished, dateModified, description, tickers extracted via regex). Adds ~0.4s per release. If false, you only get title + summary + image from the list page.

Max releases

maxReleases

1–2000

Max releases to return (1–2000). Each release is one dataset row. ~25 releases per list page; pagination is automatic.

Proxy configuration

proxyConfiguration

TypeCountry

Proxy used for retries. The actor fetches each page directly first and, if PR Newswire blocks or times out, retries it on a fresh session from this proxy. Keep RESIDENTIAL: PR Newswire sometimes walls datacenter IPs on paginated requests. Leaving it off means no fallback route.

API

Bytewells speaks the Apify API. Existing integrations keep working: point apify-client at https://bytewells.com/api and use your Bytewells API token (Console → Settings → API access). The Actor ID is nexgendata/pr-newswire-press-releases-scraper (or nexgendata~pr-newswire-press-releases-scraper in URLs).

JavaScript · apify-client

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({
  token: process.env.BYTEWELLS_TOKEN,
  baseUrl: 'https://bytewells.com/api',
});

const input = {
  "keyword": "",
  "issuerOnly": false,
  "dateFrom": "",
  "dateTo": "",
  "includeFullBody": false,
  "maxReleases": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
};

const run = await client.actor('nexgendata/pr-newswire-press-releases-scraper').call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python · apify-client

import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["BYTEWELLS_TOKEN"], api_url="https://bytewells.com/api")

run_input = {
    "keyword": "",
    "issuerOnly": False,
    "dateFrom": "",
    "dateTo": "",
    "includeFullBody": False,
    "maxReleases": 5,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": True,
        "apifyProxyGroups": [
            "RESIDENTIAL"
        ]
    }
}

run = client.actor("nexgendata/pr-newswire-press-releases-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items
print(items)

HTTP · curl

curl -X POST "https://bytewells.com/api/v2/acts/nexgendata~pr-newswire-press-releases-scraper/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BYTEWELLS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keyword":"","issuerOnly":false,"dateFrom":"","dateTo":"","includeFullBody":false,"maxReleases":5,"proxyConfiguration":{"useApifyProxy":true,"apifyProxyGroups":["RESIDENTIAL"]}}'

Runs are billed as compute from your credit balance. Paid Actors need an active rental or trial; otherwise the API answers 402 rental-required.
