What sources does NewsCatcher index?

NewsCatcher crawls millions of public‐web pages, enriches every item with entity, sentiment, and taxonomy tags, and delivers only the signals a client cares about—already mapped to their data models, tools, and security requirements. We cover signals from news, municipal, government, regulatory, and corporate sources.

How much historical data do you have?

We have data starting from 2019.

What is the latency from publication on a source and the time it hits your News API?

Depending on the subscription, you can have near-instant access to published articles through our API. Most content is accessible within 10 minutes or less, while small publications may take up to an hour for article availability. If you have a list of priority sources that you want lower latency on, we can add those to our priority pipeline for faster data ingestion.

Does NewsCatcher provide Service Level Agreements (SLA)? If yes, what kind?

We offer up to 99.95% API uptime and up to 99% per-source coverage SLA. Additionally, we're committed to integrating new sources upon request, ensuring our service evolves with your needs.

What is your pricing?

Our pricing varies based on several factors, including the specific product, call volume, service level agreements (SLA), historical data access, and optional add-ons such as translation services, custom pipelines, and dedicated resources. For a tailored quote, please contact our sales team.

What if there is a source which you don’t cover?

We are able to add publicly available sources on demand within 1-3 business days.

What is publicly available data?

Publicly available data is that which is freely accessible to anyone. It can come from various sources, including governments, businesses, news publishers, and research institutions. NewsCatcher collects only publicly available data sources.

Does NewsCatcher prohibit any particular use cases?

We advocate for fair use, opposing the republishing of copyrighted material, especially to protect media houses from content misappropriation.

How robust is NewsCatcher infrastructure?

Our architecture leverages multiple cloud providers and data centers, fortified with disaster recovery plans and stringent security protocols for unparalleled data protection.

What’s the usual procurement process of NewsCatcher?

NewsCatcher is SOC 2 Type II certified, penetration‑tested in zero‑knowledge mode, and run by a US C‑Corp, so procurement is straightforward for highly regulated organisations.

Is what you’re doing legal?

Yes. NewsCatcher provides a subscription-based, global news article collection and aggregation service. We provide links to news content and rely on the “fair use” doctrine under copyright law. We follow source terms of service, link back to the original content, and have DMCA processes to remove content if required.

NewsCatcher is a data-as-a-service company which collects and cleans millions of public‐web pages and extracts unique signals relevant to its clients.

“NewsCatcher provides us with the broadest and most accurate news coverage we’ve seen—without false positives. Their entity resolution scoring and ability to prioritize our markets give us confidence in the signals we monitor. The platform delivers everything, from macro news indirectly tied to a company to detailed, richly tagged articles, clustered and summarized to cut through duplication. This saves significant time for our teams and reduces LLM processing costs when assessing risk. Because the data is delivered without restrictive pre-filtering and comes with predictable annual pricing, we see strong reusability across the bank’s departments.”
