first set, phase 1b
News sites and press coverage, deduplicated with web results. News is a scope on the same waterfall as web.
Name news as the source in a search or catch. discatch returns articles from news publishers through the waterfall, deduplicated against web results so a syndicated piece counts once. For full coverage of blogs, docs, and indexed social posts alongside news, use the web source. Both share the same index and the same pricing.
Articles and press from news publishers as the index sees them, deduplicated against web results so a syndicated piece counts once.
Through the waterfall, news-scoped. The quote prices news the same as web.
One syntax for every source: quotes, AND, OR, NOT, site:, author:, lang:.
query
("your product" OR "your company") AND (funding OR launch OR acquires)One result, as a catch delivers it: source, author, the post, a prescore, thread context, and a suggested action your agent can act on.
The round values the company at $80M. Alternatives in the space include discatch, Syften, and F5Bot, each targeting developer teams with API-first approaches.
The web source covers blogs, documentation, changelogs, comparison pages, news articles, and indexed social posts. News is a scope that filters for press and news-publisher pages only. Both run through the same waterfall and cost the same units. If you want everything, use web. If you want press only, use news. A catch that names both sources dedups so a syndicated piece counts once.
Competitor funding news
("competitor A" OR "competitor B") AND (funding OR acquisition OR "series")Your brand in the press
"your company" AND (review OR announces OR launches)Not yet. News is in the first set of sources, phase 1b of the roadmap, and discatch is pre-launch. The API serves the doctor manifest today, and the manifest’s sources_now list is the truth for what is live. When phase 1b ships, catches on this source reach news through the waterfall.
It is a scope on the same waterfall so you can ask for press only. A search that names both dedups across them.
The same units as web: one search unit per call, plus one result unit per matched item. The quote says the ceiling before anything runs.
As fresh as the index. Breaking news may lag minutes to hours depending on how quickly the index picks it up.
Yes. Name news as the source instead of web. Only news-publisher pages come back.
No. News covers articles from news publishers. Podcasts and video transcription are post-v1.
Google Alerts covers news but has no API, no webhook, and lags by hours. discatch quotes before the call, delivers results to your agent, and dedups news against web and developer sources.
Octolens has /news-monitoring. Brand24 and Awario include news behind dashboards. None of them offer a quote before the call.
