PR TIMES Press Release Scraper (Japan)

Collect Japanese press releases from PR TIMES by keyword or company. Clean JSON (title, full body text, company, category, date, images) ready for LLM/RAG, media monitoring and competitor tracking. Pay only per release.

Collects Japanese press releases from PR TIMES — Japan's largest press-release distribution platform (100,000+ companies) — and returns them as clean, structured JSON. Built for media monitoring, competitor tracking, PR analytics and LLM / RAG datasets in Japanese.

What you get

For each press release:

Input

• Keywords — e.g. 生成AI, EC, SaaS. Returns the latest ~40 releases per keyword.
• Company IDs — the number in https://prtimes.jp/main/html/searchrlp/company_id/XXXX. Paginates through the company's whole archive (newest first), so you can pull a competitor's full release history.
• Release URLs — direct URLs if you already have them.
• Published after — stop at releases older than this date (works best with Company IDs).
• Fetch full body — turn off to only list title/URL/company/date (5× cheaper).

Pricing (pay per event)

You pay only for results:

• Press release (full body) — one release with body text, category, images and metadata.
• Press release (listing only) — title, URL, company and date only.

No subscription; the Apify free plan is enough to try it.

Use cases

• Competitor monitoring — schedule the Actor daily with your competitors' company IDs and push new releases to Slack / Notion via Apify integrations.
• Media & PR analytics — count releases per category / company over time.
• Japanese LLM datasets — body text is normalized (no navigation, no scripts) so it drops straight into RAG pipelines or fine-tuning corpora.
• Lead generation — find companies announcing funding, new offices or product launches in your niche.
