What is news & media data scraping?

Important news can be spread across many sources and formats. We create targeted collection workflows that organize publicly available headlines, topics, dates and entity references around the markets and subjects your team follows.

Cigma combines tailored extraction logic with AI-assisted mapping and validation where appropriate. The objective is a dependable dataset that fits your research, commercial or operational workflow—not an unstructured collection of raw pages.

Public web sources

Custom workflows for the sources you need
