Press Monitor API
Integrate real-time, structured Canadian news content into your digital platforms, dashboards, and applications using the Press Monitor API. Built for reliability, speed, and multilingual adaptability, this service delivers publicly available media data across print, online, AV, and social media—directly to your systems.
Why Press Monitor API?
In Canada’s bilingual, multi-platform media environment, organisations require accurate, compliant, and real-time access to media data—especially when powering tools that support compliance, strategy, reputation, or automation. The Press Monitor API is designed for enterprises, government, and technology teams who need structured news content in English and French, delivered securely and ready for integration.
Whether you're monitoring headlines, analysing sentiment, or building AI-driven services, our API supports RSS, ATOM, and RESTful JSON formats to ensure seamless compatibility with your workflow.
Scope of Media Monitored
Press Monitor’s Canadian API offering is built on a legal, transparent, and multilingual foundation:
Bilingual Coverage
Tracks both English and French media. Language-specific queries are crafted to ensure nuanced and complete monitoring.
Copyright-Compliant Sources Only
Includes only media content that is publicly accessible without violating copyright law.
Paywall-Adaptive Indexing
Headlines and summaries from paywalled sources are indexed if available via public sitemaps, RSS feeds, or preview pages.
Public Audio-Visual Content
Only channels and clips available online in the public domain are included (e.g., CBC YouTube content, publicly shared press events).
Print Media (Digital Editions)
Headline feeds and summaries from Canada’s major newspapers and regional publications.
Social Media Feeds of Media Outlets
Monitors verified media handles on platforms like X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and Facebook.
Online-Only Publications
Blogs, vlogs, digital-only newsrooms, and sector-focused newsletters.
Cross-Platform Standardisation
All content is converted to a uniform structure regardless of format or original language. Translations available upon request.
What Problem Does It Solve?
Inconsistent Data Sources
Aggregating Canadian media data across regions, languages, and platforms is complex and error-prone.
Manual Extraction Pain
Many teams rely on scrapers or plugins that are brittle, delay-prone, or non-compliant.
No Multilingual Structuring
APIs that fail to separate or unify English and French media can result in duplicated or irrelevant results.
Paywall Blind Spots
Without structured headline visibility, key developments can be missed behind article paywalls.
Limited Control Over Filtering
Generic aggregators do not support deep customisation by topic, region, or issue area.
Press Monitor API eliminates these issues with a robust infrastructure built for legal compliance, bilingual content access, and real-time delivery.
