Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| sources | No | Wire sources — Select which press-release wires to read, e.g. prnewswire. Leave empty to read all three. Each source is fetched as its own public RSS feed, so a wire that is briefly unavailable produces one error row instead of failing the whole run. Options: prnewswire = PR Newswire; businesswire = Business Wire; globenewswire = GlobeNewswire. | |
| keywords | No | Keywords — Enter keywords to match against each release's title and summary, e.g. funding, acquisition. Case-insensitive substring match; a release needs only one hit to pass. Leave empty to keep every release from the selected wires. | |
| sinceHours | No | Only releases from the last N hours — Enter how many hours back to keep releases, e.g. 24. Releases without a parseable publish date are dropped when this is set. Leave at 0 to disable the time filter and keep every release currently in the feed. | |
| includeBody | No | Fetch full release text — Turn this on to fetch each release's page and add up to 8,000 characters of plain-text body. Only works for PR Newswire and GlobeNewswire — Business Wire's own website blocks non-browser requests, so its body is always null. | |
| maxItemsPerSource | No | Max items per source — Enter the most releases to keep per wire after filtering, e.g. 100. Each wire's RSS feed only ever contains its latest 20-50 releases, so this mostly matters when you run on a tight schedule and want to cap cost. |
