News & article data
News & article data, delivered to spec
Production-grade article data: composable, not packaged. Build it yourself on Zyte API, or have it delivered by Zyte Data. Same foundation, your choice of who runs the pipeline.
The basics
What is news & article data?
News and article data is the structured record of a published piece: its headline, byline, publish date, full body text, images, and topical/entity metadata. It's collected from publisher sites and news aggregators, then cleaned of boilerplate (ads, related-article rails, comment sections, subscription prompts) and normalized into a consistent schema. Because publishers render the same story differently, and often paywall or dynamically inject parts of it, the value is in reliable, clean extraction at the article level, not the raw page.
Who uses it

Entity-linked adverse media alertsThe hard part
Why news & article data is hard at scale
The problem is rarely a single article. It's correctly separating story from clutter across thousands of publishers whose templates change without notice.
Boilerplate hides the story
Related-article rails, comment threads, share buttons, and subscription prompts sit in the same HTML block as the article body. Zyte's extraction model is trained to isolate body text from surrounding noise, article by article, not with brittle per-site rules.
Paywalls and lazy-loaded content
Many publishers render the full body only after a scroll event, a login check, or a metered-paywall script fires. Zyte renders pages the way a browser does, so gated and dynamically injected content is captured — within the bounds of each publisher's terms and your license.
The same story, published forty times
Wire stories and syndicated content appear near-identically across outlets within minutes of each other. Zyte deduplicates at the story level so your feed reflects distinct coverage, not forty copies of one AP piece.
Every publisher, a different template
Thousands of source templates means thousands of ways to mis-extract a byline or a date. Zyte validates extraction quality per source, not just per field, and flags drift when a redesign breaks a previously reliable source.
The cost of getting it wrong
What bad news data quietly costs the business
Bad article data doesn't announce itself. It shows up later, in a sentiment score, a research note, or a trained model that was already wrong.
Signal Lag
Mentions detected hours late are mentions acted on too late; a monitoring feed built on stale crawls misses the news cycle it exists to catch.
Duplicate Inflation
Uncounted syndication can make a single wire story look like broad organic coverage, skewing share-of-voice and sentiment metrics.
Model Degradation
An NLP model trained on boilerplate-contaminated text degrades quietly; ad copy and related-link text leak into what the model treats as "the article."
Regulatory Exposure
Collecting and republishing content without regard to publisher terms, copyright, or personal-data rules carries real legal risk, including GDPR exposure up to €20M.

Reviews
What our users say
I have been working with Zyte's team for the last few months, and their team is fantastic. I appreciate their development speed and quality, and they run a very robust platform, producing very satisfactory results. I love the ease of the initial setup with Zyte, as they took care of all the development, and we only needed to communicate what data we needed and set up the necessary processes on our end.

Frequently asked questions
How fresh can news & article data be?
New articles are typically detected and delivered within minutes to hours of publication, depending on source polling frequency. Real-time delivery is available where the use case needs it.
How do you handle paywalls and gated content?
Coverage is scoped per source and per license — Zyte captures what a compliant, authorized method allows for each publisher, and this is agreed upfront rather than assumed.
How do you handle wire syndication and duplicate stories?
Articles are deduplicated at the story level using content-similarity matching, so near-identical syndicated copies don't inflate your feed or your metrics.
What fields and formats do you support?
Standard fields include headline, byline, publish/modified dates, full body text and HTML, images, language, paywall status, and extracted entities/categories. Custom schemas are available on request; delivery via JSON, API, or batch file.
How do you approach compliance for news data?
Collection is scoped to each publisher's terms and applicable law, with sensitive personal data excluded by default unless specifically required and authorized.
How long does setup take?
Most feeds go from scoping call to first delivery within one to two weeks, depending on source count and schema complexity.
Can I see a sample before committing?
Yes — request sample data for specific outlets during your first call with our data specialists.
Can I see a sample before committing?
Yes. Talk to a data specialist to request sample data from the sources you care about before agreeing to a contract.
