2026-07-27 · cynix · 2 min read

Point it at a list of newsroom URLs or RSS feeds. It fetches, extracts article text (readability-style), dedups by content hash, and emits structured records: title, URL, published date, source, extracted text, matched keywords. News & Press Release Monitor on Apify.

Input

{
  "sources": [
    "https://newsroom.company.com/rss",
    "https://investors.company.com/press-releases"
  ],
  "keywords": ["acquisition", "merger", "earnings", "partnership"],
  "maxItemsPerSource": 50
}

Output

{
  "title": "Company Acquires Startup for $50M",
  "url": "https://newsroom.company.com/2026/07/27/acquisition",
  "source": "Company Newsroom",
  "publishedAt": "2026-07-27T14:00:00Z",
  "extractedText": "Company announced today...",
  "matchedKeywords": ["acquisition"],
  "contentHash": "sha256:abc123..."
}

The dedup hash means re-running on the same sources produces zero duplicates. Schedule it hourly, daily, whatever — you only get new stuff.
