This article is split into 2 parts. Part 1, Part 2

The Press Release API allows you to programmatically create, generate, and publish AI-driven press releases within the Search Atlas ecosystem. Designed for content, SEO, and PR teams, it helps automate the entire press release lifecycle — from prompt-based generation to publication and indexation tracking — while maintaining full control through secure API access.

With this API, you can build scalable workflows to handle multiple campaigns, track publication metrics, and integrate content generation into your existing systems.
