What the Media Intelligence API covers
Adverse mediaPositive company signalsCoverage deduplicationRelevance scoringSource trust scoringSource allowlists and blocklistsOngoing monitoring
More than adverse media
Company news can strengthen a credit case. It can also expose new risk.
02
A headline is not enough
Your reviewer needs to know whether the story concerns the right company and why it matters to the decision.
03
Not every source deserves equal weight
ClearSignal scores source trust, so an established news organisation can carry more weight than a low-authority blog.
Search once or keep watch
Company signals do not stop after onboarding.
Run a one-off search or monitor selected companies. New funding, contract wins and adverse events go back to the system that owns the case.
Example · searched once
Check the company as it stands today.
The API returns positive and adverse signals for the current decision. Monitoring is a separate choice.

01
Support approval or new terms
Funding and contract wins may provide cited evidence for approval, a higher limit or different terms.
02
Spot reasons to review
Bring regulatory action, legal proceedings and other adverse media into the same workflow.
03
Review one scored signal
Group duplicate coverage, score its relevance and source trust, and apply ClearSignal source allowlists and blocklists before it reaches the reviewer.
How it works
Send a company. Get back the signals and their sources.
The search runs inside your existing onboarding, credit or monitoring process.
1
Submit the company
Send the company details held in your system. A company number, name and country help separate similar businesses.
2
Run the proprietary search
ClearSignal searches adverse media, funding announcements, contract wins and business expansion.
3
Deduplicate, match and score
The service groups repeated coverage, checks the company context, scores signal relevance and source trust, and applies ClearSignal source allowlists and blocklists.
4
Return the supporting context
Your application receives the signal type, relevance score, source-trust score, coverage group, source policy outcome, publication details and company match.
5
Monitor when needed
Watch selected companies and send later developments back to your workflow by webhook.
Capabilities
Use Media Intelligence on its own.
Add company data, credit policy or decisioning through the same API when the case needs them.
Adverse media
Find regulatory, legal and other risk-related coverage for companies or people.
Positive company signals
Find funding, contract wins, expansion and other developments that can support a credit decision.

Group repeated or syndicated articles so reviewers see one signal instead of the same story several times.
Signal relevance scoring
Score how closely each development relates to the company and the decision in front of the reviewer.
Source trust scoring
Distinguish authoritative news outlets from low-authority blogs.
Source allowlists and blocklists
ClearSignal applies maintained source allowlists and blocklists before results enter the workflow.
Company matching
Compare the publication with the company details supplied in the request.
Source references
Return the link, publication date and surrounding context with the signal.
Ongoing monitoring
Watch selected companies for material developments after the first search.
