What Problem Does It Solve?

Global media coverage is vast, fragmented, and inconsistent. Enterprises and governments face several challenges:

Lack of real-time access
to structured media across countries and languages.
Inability to monitor social-first and online-only sources
that are not included in licensed news APIs.
Legal concerns
over content licensing, especially across jurisdictions.
Difficulty integrating unstructured content
into AI models or enterprise platforms.
Need for multilingual processing
, with automatic translation or cross-language tagging.

Press Monitor API solves these challenges by focusing on public-domain, publicly accessible content that is legally monitorable and already surfaced via sitemaps, RSS feeds, or open web endpoints.

Government Bodies and Think Tanks
