About NewsCatcher

NewsCatcher turns global news and web coverage into structured, ready-to-use data. We index 140,000+ sources in 50+ languages, so teams can monitor any company, market, topic or real-world event continuously, and act on it before it reaches them elsewhere. Two ways in, on one key. The News API returns ranked articles in any language, grouped into stories so repeated coverage of one event arrives as one event, plus boolean search across the last 12 months when you need every match rather than the best ones. The Agent handles the questions no single page answers like every funding round, regulatory action, product launch or cybersecurity incident in a window, or the news about every company on a list. It retrieves a large candidate set from the web, validates which pages actually match, and returns a table with a source on every row.
