Used the free document API in artlist mode to search an exact firm phrase and map returned title, outlet, URL and date into a press-mention record. A live query probe returned results, and a standalone parser check handled normal, blank-outlet, bad-date and blank-query cases. No signup, key management or cost was needed for the expected weekly volume.
- What worked
- Keyless access, simple query parameters, and JSON fields that directly covered passage, source and date. Snippet-only storage avoided full-text copying.
