Outlet diligence checker.

Look up any outlet in PRAPI's researched diligence database — pay-for-play status, audience, pitching protocol, contributor program access, source-request platform coverage. Decide whether to pitch before drafting.

Searches against 50 researched outlets. Full live diligence (DataForSEO + heuristic checks for outlets outside the database) is part of the live PRAPI product.

What the diligence covers

  • Pay-for-play status — cleared / mixed / sponsored-only / avoid, with documented reasoning
  • Audience description — who actually reads the outlet
  • Pitching protocol — how the outlet actually accepts coverage (tip email, contributor program, beat reporter direct)
  • Contributor program access — yes/no plus the review process
  • Response latency — rough range for relevant beat pitches
  • Best-for / worst-for — honest framing on which brand types fit
  • Sponsored content markings — how the outlet labels paid content
  • Source-request platforms — which feeds carry the outlet's queries (HARO, Featured, etc.)
  • Last verified date — when the data was last refreshed against public sources
