PR Newswire does not offer a public bulk API for its press-release stream, so teams that need the releases as structured data turn to scrapers or general news APIs. The options differ in coverage (PR Newswire specifically vs broad news) and model (subscription news APIs vs pay-per-result scrapers).

| Tool | Type | Pricing model |

The NexGenData PR Newswire actor returns each release as structured JSON — headline, company, tickers, posted datetime, category/industry tags, and full body — on a pay-per-result basis, so you get the wire stream without maintaining a scraper or buying a broad news subscription.
