Someone still has to create job. It does not have to be you
Your NewsCatcher, worked while you do something else: 3 reads to go through it, 1 write to change it, and a card in front of every one of those changes.
Open the job. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the NewsCatcher afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a job until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what NewsCatcher exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 4 operations, 3 reads and 1 write. In practice that means it can create a job, and work across the jobs, continue jobs and job results.
The NewsCatcher API stops at NewsCatcher. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Does it read the jobs or ask you for them?
3 of the 4 operations are reads.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can list jobs, get job results and continue job, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from NewsCatcher's documentation.
The jobs are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the continue jobs. A companion can hold all 4 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of NewsCatcher admin becomes a queue you review.
- List Jobs
- Get Job Results
- Continue Job
Which jobs wait for your approval?
The one write operation there is waits for you.
A companion can create a job, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the job, the field and the new value before it lands in NewsCatcher.
Nothing in NewsCatcher is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the job exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.
- Create Job
Does the job sweep have to be asked for every time?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the NewsCatcher jobs pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the busywork, the NewsCatcher jobs sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
