Drive the Actor by selecting a feed type and setting the maximum number of press releases to collect. The feed filter runs as releases are read, so only matching items reach your dataset. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

{
 "maxItems": 10
}

A larger pull:

{
 "maxItems": 200
}

Free users

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that the selected feed type has new press releases. Some feeds may have low volume. Also ensure maxItems is set to a positive number.

The run is taking too long.

Reduce the maxItems value. Collecting a very large number of releases can take time depending on the feed size.

Can I filter by keyword?

This actor does not support keyword filtering. Use a competitor actor that offers keyword search, or filter the exported data yourself.

The output is missing some fields.

Some fields may be empty if the press release does not contain that information. Check the raw feed to confirm availability.
