What it does
The PR Web Press Releases Scraper turns prweb.com — Cision’s small- and mid-business press-release wire — into a structured dataset. Each row carries the headline, full body text, ISO-8601 UTC publication timestamp, source company, distribution category and primary image. It’s the third actor in our Cision-family suite, running on the same infrastructure as the PR Newswire and GlobeNewswire scrapers but covering the SMB distribution tier.
Who it’s for
PR agencies logging client coverage, sales teams mining small-business announcements for buying signals, local journalists hunting story tips, and brand-monitoring workflows that need the long tail of business news the premium wires miss.
Sample fields / output
Each dataset item includes url, headline, body_text, publication_timestamp and date_modified (ISO 8601 UTC), source_company, distribution_category and the primary image URL. Inputs: searchQuery, industryFilter, fromDate/toDate, maxResults (up to 500).
Example use cases
- Lead generation — pipe
source_company+distribution_categoryinto your CRM to spot growing SMBs (new hires, expansions, openings) before paid intent data shows them. - Agency client tracking — daily run filtered to your client portfolio, logging every release they distribute.
- Local-news enrichment — pull regional releases as a story-tip feed for local reporters.

FAQ
How is PR Web different from PR Newswire?
Same Cision infrastructure, different tier: PR Newswire carries premium releases from large public companies, while PR Web is the SMB and mid-market wire — local businesses, agencies, non-profits and professional-services firms.
Can I filter by industry?
Yes — industryFilter accepts PR Web category slugs like health, technology or real-estate, and searchQuery adds a keyword filter on top. Date bounds via fromDate/toDate.
What does each result contain?
The canonical URL, headline, full body text, publication and modification timestamps in ISO 8601 UTC, source company, distribution category, and the primary image URL when present.
