Scoopkit AI News Digest Retainer Build (5-7 days)
Agencies build a branded, deduplicated AI news digest for a client by wiring Scoopkit's REST API, webhooks, and 10-category/57-subcategory taxonomy into an automated delivery pipeline. The retainer covers setup plus ongoing curation and taxonomy tuning.
- Client has an audience or internal team that needs recurring AI-industry signal, not general news
- Magic-link API key requested via scoopkit.dev and confirmed working against the X-Api-Key header on api.scoopkit.dev/openapi.json
- Delivery target chosen: email digest, CMS, or Notion workspace, with write access provisioned
- Agreed category and entity filter list so the 10-category/57-subcategory taxonomy maps to the client's beat
- Scoopkit plan sized to request volume: Free at $0/month for 100 req/day, or Pro at $49/month for 10k req/day and 12-month archive
- 1.Request magic-link key and validate X-Api-Key against the OpenAPI spec at api.scoopkit.dev/openapi.json
- 2.Run test queries on structured event records (event_id, headline, primary_category, article_count, reported_at) to confirm clustering quality
- 3.Document which of the 10 categories and 57 subcategories match the client's coverage area
- 1.Map client's target entities and topics to Scoopkit search and filter parameters
- 2.Decide delivery mode: REST polling, the official CLI via npx scoopkit, or the MCP server for agent workflows
- 3.Draft the digest template with fields pulled from the event record
- 1.Build the automated daily digest pipeline that pulls deduplicated events into the branded template
- 2.Configure webhook trigger to push curated event records to the client's CMS or Notion workspace
- 3.Set article_count threshold so only events with meaningful coverage surface in the digest
- 1.Run a full end-to-end test across a 24-hour window of Scoopkit events
- 2.Verify deduplication is collapsing near-duplicate headlines into single event records as expected
- 3.Tune category filters to remove noise from the client's digest
- 1.Write the handoff guide covering filtering taxonomy, webhook management, and archive access
- 2.Train client staff on adjusting category filters and reading the event record structure
- 3.Confirm archive retention matches the plan: 45-day on Free, 12-month on Pro
- 1.Monitor first live digest cycle and fix any delivery or formatting issues
- 2.Set up a weekly review cadence for taxonomy tuning as the client's beat shifts
- 3.Document escalation path for API or webhook failures
- 1.Deliver final digest configuration and handoff documentation
- 2.Agree retainer scope: ongoing curation, taxonomy tuning, and monthly signal review
- 3.Confirm request volume stays within plan limits or flag upgrade to Enterprise for custom limits and archive
Agencies charge $2,500 or more for the setup sprint while Scoopkit costs $49/month on Pro, so the tool is a rounding error against the retainer. The margin comes from curation and taxonomy tuning, not the API itself, since the client is paying for a filtered signal feed rather than raw access. At 10k requests/day on Pro, one subscription can support several client digests before an upgrade is needed.
- Configured Scoopkit API connection with client-specific category and entity filters
- Automated daily email digest template populated from deduplicated event records
- Webhook integration pushing curated events to the client's CMS or Notion workspace
- Handoff guide covering the 10-category/57-subcategory taxonomy, filter tuning, and webhook management
- Monthly signal review report summarizing event volume and category distribution
The client receives a daily digest of deduplicated AI-industry events, filtered to their beat, with webhook delivery confirmed and taxonomy tuning documented for ongoing retainer work.
