PR Web Press Releases Scraper

Scrapes PR Web — the small- and mid-business press-release wire owned by Cision — into a structured Apify dataset. Each row contains the headline, full body text, publication timestamp (ISO 8601 UTC), source company, distribution category, and the primary image URL (when present).

Why PR Web vs. its siblings

PR Web is the third actor in our Cision-family press-wire suite. All three actors run on the same infrastructure (identical URL pattern, identical CDN, identical HTML markup) but cover different distribution tiers:

If your workflow needs ticker-grade material-news coverage, use the PR Newswire or GlobeNewswire actors. If you're tracking a long tail of small-business announcements — new hires, awards, grand openings, partnerships, community events — PR Web is the right feed.

Use cases

• SMB PR monitoring — surface releases from small businesses by keyword, geography, or industry.
• Agency client tracking — set a daily run filtered by an agency's client portfolio to log every release they distribute.
• Lead generation — pipe source_company + distribution_category into your CRM to spot growing businesses (hiring, expansion, new locations) before they show up in paid intent data.
• Local-news enrichment — local journalists can pull regional PR Web releases as a story-tip feed.
• Brand monitoring — track press releases that mention competitors, partners, or your own brand.

Pricing — pay per event

PR Web is priced at the same $0.10/release rate as its PR Newswire sibling — both target the same buyer (PR monitoring, agency tracking, lead-gen). GlobeNewswire sits at a higher per-release price because its listed-company signal is more valuable for IR and equity research.

Notes

• The scraper pulls each release's detail page (not just the list summary), so a single item already contains the full body and publication timestamp — no second pass needed.
• All timestamps are normalised to ISO 8601 UTC (Zulu).
• source_company is extracted primarily from the <meta name="keywords"> tag and falls back to the /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- marker in the release body.
• Image URLs reuse Cision's mma.prnewswire.com CDN — the same CDN as PR Newswire.
