# News Search
> Find news about companies by category, country, language and date, with every article linked to the companies it mentions — and optionally to the expansion signals it produced.
[News Search](/en/api-reference/endpoint/companies/news_search) returns news articles Pubrio has classified, one row per article. Each row links to **every** company the article mentions, carries a category slug (`acquires`, `partners_with`, `receives_financing`, …) and, on request, the expansion signals the article produced.
```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.pubrio.com/companies/news/search \
-H "pubrio-api-key: $PUBRIO_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"domains": ["stripe.com"],
"categories": ["partners_with", "launches"],
"published_dates": ["2026-08-01", "2026-09-04"],
"per_page": 25
}'
```
## When to use it
* **Account intelligence** — what happened to a company this month, categorised.
* **Trigger-based prospecting** — every company that announced funding or an acquisition in a country and language you sell in.
* **Signal evidence** — with `is_expansion_signal_available: true`, see which articles produced which [expansion signals](/en/knowledge-base/concepts/expansion-signals).
For counts and category breakdowns use [News Insights](/en/api-reference/endpoint/companies/news_insights). To be notified as articles arrive, create a Monitor with `signal_types: ["news"]`.
## Scope to a company
| Key | Value | Notes |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `domains` | `["stripe.com"]` | Matches articles that mention the company, not only articles about it |
| `linkedin_urls` | `["https://www.linkedin.com/company/stripe"]` | Company pages only |
| `companies` | `["5378845d-…"]` | `domain_search_id` values |
A search without a company works — `{"categories": ["acquires"], "locations": ["SG"]}` — and returns the whole index for that category, newest first.
## Filters
### Category and gallery
| Key | Type | Matches |
| ------------------ | ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `categories` | `string[]` | Category slugs from [News Categories](/en/api-reference/endpoint/news/categories). Any listed slug. |

| `search_terms` | `string[]` | Several terms, any of which may match. |
### Dates
| Key | Type | Matches |
| ----------------- | --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

### Expansion signals
| Key | Type | Matches |
| ------------------------------- | ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `is_expansion_signal_available` | `boolean` | Attach `expansion_signals` to each row and enable the two filters below. Leave off for the fastest search. |
| `expansion_signal_types` | `string[]` | `HIRE`, `PARTNER`, `PRODUCT`, `SCALE`, … Requires the flag above. |
| `expansion_signal_polarities` | `string[]` | `expansion`, `contraction_leading`, `contraction_confirming`, `contraction_lagging`. |
### Paging and order
| Key | Default | Notes |
| -------------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `per_page` / `page` | 25 / 1 | Plan-capped; see `total_display_pages`. |
| `is_ascending_order` | `false` | Rows are ordered by `published_at` newest first, undated articles last. `true` flips to oldest first. |
## What a row looks like
```json theme={null}
{
"news_id": "76886b56-3418-476a-a531-fff18deb29db",
"news_search_id": "4d950aea-e2bb-4367-869b-c34e834a82ec",
"title": "PayPal Rejects Takeover, Rated Buy",
"summary": "…",
"url": "https://seekingalpha.com/article/4942660-…",
"source": "seekingalpha.com",
"image_url": "https://static.seekingalpha.com/…",
"language": "en",
"published_at": "2026-09-03T08:54:21.000000Z",
"last_modified": "2026-09-03T09:20:55.189Z",
"category": "receives_financing",
"news_category_name": "Funding Announcements",
"news_galleries": [{ "news_gallery_id": "342f2eb1-…", "slug": "general-business", "name": "General Business" }],
"country_codes": null,
"company_country_codes": ["US"],
"locations": null,
"domains": ["paypal.com", "stripe.com"],
"companies": [
{ "domain_search_id": "5378845d-…", "company_name": "Stripe", "domain": "stripe.com", "country_code": "US", "…": "…" },
{ "domain_search_id": "b03b312a-…", "company_name": "PayPal", "domain": "paypal.com", "country_code": "US", "…": "…" }
]
}
```
* `companies` and `domains` are parallel arrays and list **every** mentioned company, so a search scoped to `stripe.com` can return an article whose main subject is PayPal. Filter client-side on `domains` if you need articles where your company is the subject.
* `country_codes` is what the article is about; `company_country_codes` is where the mentioned companies are based. `locations` filters the first.
* `news_category_name` is localised to the request `language`; `category` is the stable slug.
* With `is_expansion_signal_available: true` each row gains `expansion_signals: [{ signal_type_slug, signal_strength_slug, polarity, country_code, domain_search_id, event_date }]`.
### `metadata.ignored_fields`
Any body key the endpoint does not recognise is dropped and listed here. `"categorys"` returns the whole index with `ignored_fields: ["categorys"]`, not an error.
## Recipes
```bash cURL theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.pubrio.com/companies/news/search \
-H "pubrio-api-key: $PUBRIO_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"categories": ["receives_financing"],
"news_languages": ["ja"],
"published_dates": ["2026-08-01", "2026-09-04"],
"per_page": 25
}'
```
```bash cURL theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.pubrio.com/companies/news/search \
-H "pubrio-api-key: $PUBRIO_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"domains": ["stripe.com"],
"is_expansion_signal_available": true,
"expansion_signal_types": ["HIRE", "PARTNER", "PRODUCT", "OFFICE"],
"expansion_signal_polarities": ["expansion"],
"per_page": 25
}'
```
Every row now explains a signal you would otherwise only see as a stage on [Company expansion detail](/en/api-reference/endpoint/expansions/company_lookup).
```python Python theme={null}
import os, requests
from datetime import datetime, timedelta, timezone
since = (datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(days=1)).strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")
body = requests.post(
"https://api.pubrio.com/companies/news/search",
headers={"pubrio-api-key": os.environ["PUBRIO_API_KEY"]},
json={"domains": ["stripe.com", "adyen.com"], "published_at": since, "per_page": 25},
).json()
for a in body["data"]["news"]:
subjects = ", ".join(c["company_name"] for c in a["companies"])
print(f'[{a["category"]}] {a["title"]} — {subjects}')
```
`published_at` is compared in UTC, so a rolling 24-hour timestamp is safer than a calendar date.
