RTPR is a real-time press release feed and API focused on delivering the original wire announcement (Business Wire, PR Newswire, GlobeNewswire, AccessWire) in under 500 milliseconds. Benzinga Pro is a broader news terminal with an audio squawk, analyst actions, and chat. If your edge is reacting to a press release the instant it hits the wire — and especially if you want to automate it through an API — RTPR is built specifically for that job.
