Google News Scraper: Company News Alerts by Keyword
Pricing
from $0.50 / 1,000 article returneds
Google News scraper: give it a list of keywords (or site:domain.com) and get one spreadsheet row per article - headline, source, publish date, link and snippet. Built for PR and comms teams watching coverage, with an only-new-articles mode for daily alerts. Charged per article found.
One search per line: a keyword phrase, or "site:domain.com" to search one publisher. Accepted formats: apify, site:techcrunch.com, "artificial intelligence". You're only charged for the ones we actually find — a miss costs nothing.
Turn this on to test your input on a small sample before running the full list. Turn it off to process everything.
Only keep rows where something was actually found. Misses are always free, whether or not you show them here.
Optional. Only keep results that mention at least one of these words (e.g. a job title, a city, a product name). Leave empty to keep everything.
Optional. Drop any result that mentions one of these words. Leave empty to skip nothing.
Optional. Stop the run once this many results have been found — useful for a quick, cheap sample. Leave blank for no limit.
Google's gl parameter, e.g. US, DE, GB. Also sets the ceid edition code.
Google News returns up to 100 articles per search; this caps how many you pay for per search line.
Optional. Drops any article Google News dates earlier than this many hours before the run starts, before you are billed. Use 24 on a daily schedule to get only today's news, even without the monitoring checkbox. Articles with no publish date are kept. Leave empty for no time limit.
Optional. One outlet per line: a name as Google News shows it (Reuters, The Verge) or a domain (reuters.com, which also matches its subdomains). Names match exactly, ignoring upper and lower case. Articles from any other outlet are dropped before you are billed. Leave empty to keep every outlet.
Optional. Same format as 'Only these outlets'. Articles from these outlets are dropped before you are billed. Applied before 'Only these outlets'.
When two or more of your searches find the same article, return and bill it once, under the first search that found it, with every matching search listed in 'Searches that matched'. Has no effect with a single search. Turn off to get every search's full result list.
Turns this actor into a news alert. An article counts as new when its Google News article ID has not been returned for that search by a previous run of the same watchlist. Already-seen articles are dropped before you are billed, so a run with nothing new costs only the run fee. 'Max articles per search' then caps the new articles, and any overflow is delivered on the next run instead of being lost. The first run has nothing to compare against, so it returns up to your cap and remembers the whole feed.
Leave empty and we derive one from your language and country, with a separate memory per search line, so adding a search never re-bills the others. Type your own name to keep two schedules of the same search apart, or to keep one memory across an edition change. Naming a watchlist with the checkbox above off returns every article but still stamps each one with 'Is this article new?' and 'First seen', so you can filter them yourself in Sheets, n8n or Make.
Choose which pieces of information to include in each result row. All are included by default.
[ "articleCount", "articles", "articleId", "title", "sourceName", "publishedAt", "url", "snippet", "isNew", "firstSeenAt", "matchedQueries"]When on, each article found gets its own row instead of being grouped under its search. You're still only charged once per search, no matter how many rows it produces.
Parallel requests. Keep conservative — this target has no browser fallback, so getting blocked costs more than slow-and-steady.
