Distribution Formats

Fundamentals Wire publishes a single canonical press release, then delivers it across multiple machine-readable surfaces. Choose based on how your system ingests disclosures.

Choose a delivery surface

All surfaces refer to the same canonical release. Use NewsML when you need the complete disclosure payload. Use RSS/Atom when you want a feed that points back to the canonical public URL.

Feed
A stricter feed for systems that reconcile updates and ordering precisely.
Payload: richer metadata + canonical link
Identifiers: strict IDs + updated timestamps
Integration: poll the feed URL
