Muck Rack

Muck Rack is a public relations and earned-media software platform that combines a journalist and media-outlet database, media monitoring across news, print, broadcast, social and generative AI engines, pitching and press-release distribution, and executive-ready earned-media reporting. The Muck Rack API is a paid add-on for Premier-tier customers that provides programmatic access to the article data behind a Saved Search, so communications teams can pipe earned coverage into internal systems such as Snowflake or business-intelligence tools such as Power BI and Tableau. API keys are issued by an account Admin under Organization Settings, and the API reference itself is published only to authenticated customers.

Muck Rack publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Public Relations, Media Monitoring, Media Database, Journalists, and Communications.

Muck Rack’s developer surface includes documentation, pricing, engineering blog, support, and 15 more developer resources.
