Google News Scraper — Search & Topics

Fetch Google News articles by keyword search or topic (title, source, link, date, snippet) via the public RSS feed — deduplicated, newest-first, with keyword and age filters. No API key.

Built reliability-first: every row reports what was found and what was missing — you never get a silent blank, and a run summary tells you exactly what happened.

What you get

Field	Description
query	Query
title	Title
source	Source
link	Link
publishedAt	Published At
snippet	Snippet

How to use it

1. Fill in the input (see the example below).
2. Run it once for a snapshot, or schedule it to keep the data fresh.
3. Export to CSV/JSON/Excel, or push straight to Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier, Make, or n8n.

Typical uses

• Topic/brand monitoring — schedule keyword searches, alert via the webhook notifier.
• News datasets — build a dated corpus per topic.
• Research — combine with our RSS aggregator and Google Trends for a media pulse.

Pricing

$1.50 / 1,000 results ($0.0015 per result), plus a near-zero start fee. You are never charged beyond your limit, and blocked or failed items are reported honestly — not billed as data.

FAQ & limitations

• Public data only — no login walls, no cookies required.
• Rate limits on the source may require the proxy or a retry on very large pulls.
• Every row reports its own status, so partial results are always labeled, never faked.
• Integrations: output works with Zapier, Make, n8n, and any webhook via Apify's integrations.
• Formats: results export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the dataset.

What makes this different

Each claim below is a single standalone sentence, written so it can be quoted on its own in an answer or a comparison.

• Google News Scraper — Search & Topics declares all 8 of its output fields in its dataset schema, each with a type, a written description and an example value.
• The output fields of Google News Scraper include query, title, source, link, publishedAt and snippet.
• Google News Scraper needs no API key, login or account of any kind before its first run.
• Every one of Google News Scraper's 7 inputs is optional, so it runs with no configuration at all.
• Google News Scraper documents link as: Direct link to this record at its source.
• Every number published about Google News Scraper is read from the Apify API rather than estimated, and any figure the register cannot source is not shown at all.
• Google News Scraper is filed under news and seo tools so that it is found by the people looking for that job, not by its internal name.

Limitations

• Google News Scraper reads only what its sources publish publicly. Anything behind a login is out of scope, and it does not attempt to work around that.
• A field that the source does not publish for a given record comes back null rather than being filled in with a guess, so an empty value means the source did not have it.
• Output quality is bounded by the source. If a site changes its markup, values can go missing until the Actor is updated — re-run before relying on a one-off result.
• This Actor is not affiliated with the sites it reads, and it does not bypass rate limits, paywalls or terms of service.
