Press release ingestion

Press release APIs: ingestion, schemas and source rights

A press release API can mean an API for sending releases or one for receiving them. This guide covers receiving: issuer announcements, newsroom feeds and wire content for applications.

Synoptic research·Reviewed 2026-11-14·How we assess sources

Choose the correct kind of feed

A distribution tool takes a release from a customer and sends it to an audience. An ingestion feed brings published announcements into your software. A company newsroom feed may cover only that issuer, while a wire aggregator may combine several publishers. Ask who the issuer is, who distributed the release and who supplied the API record.

Compare the documented products

Our provider comparison separates issuer feeds, selected developments and multi-source queries. It avoids the common mistake of equating a source-name list with a complete wire archive. Start with the content requirement; then evaluate the API.

Provider scopes

Compare documented source coverage and response shapes.

Corrections and duplicates

Preserve updated announcements without multiplying alerts.

Design version handling

Treat issuer claims as issuer claims

A release is an announcement by an organization, not independent verification of the event it describes. Preserve the issuer and distributor separately in your interface. Label source material clearly and retain the original link so a researcher can inspect context, corrections and attachments.

Review scope

Published by Synoptic. Primary documentation was checked on 14 November 2026. We did not run authenticated vendor feeds, compare latency or verify every wire’s archive. Local examples are original synthetic fixtures, not provider responses or actual issuer announcements.
