Overview
Endpoints News Scraper
Scrape Endpoints News articles by keyword or category, up to a million per run. Every article comes with its title, summary, URL, and publication date. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Endpoints News is the essential daily read for biopharma professionals, but manually tracking every regulatory update, deal, or clinical trial is a full-time job. This actor reads the public article feeds directly, filtering by keyword or category, and returns each match in one fixed schema. Stay on top of the biotech news cycle without building your own parser.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results for my keyword?
The keyword filter checks the article title and summary. Try a broader term, check for typos, or remove the category filter to search the full feed.
Why did my run stop at 10 articles?
Free Apify accounts are capped at 10 items per run. Upgrade to a paid plan to increase the maxItems limit up to 1,000,000.
The actor is returning articles outside my selected category.
Ensure you have set the category field to a specific value and not 'All'. If the issue persists, try running with only the category filter and no keyword.
Can I get the full text of articles behind the paywall?
This actor reads the public feed which includes titles and summaries only. Full article text requires an Endpoints News subscription and is not accessible to the scraper.
