Google News Scraper

Google News Scraper extracts news articles from Google News by keyword or topic and returns clean, structured JSON — title, source, publish date, snippet and the Google News article link. Search many keywords at once, in any language and country. Pay only for the articles you get.

What this Google News scraper does

• Search Google News for one or many keywords in a single run.
• Or pull a built-in topic section (World, Business, Technology, Sports, Science, Health…).
• Works in any language / country via hl, gl and ceid (e.g. en-US, pt-BR, es-419).
• Cleanly splits the Headline - Source title into separate title and source fields.
• Normalises publishedAt to ISO 8601 and includes a plain-text snippet.
• Datacenter proxy is enough — no expensive residential proxy needed, so runs stay cheap.

A note on links. Google News link ids are opaque redirect identifiers. This actor always returns the canonical googleNewsUrl (which opens the article in a browser). Turning on the optional best-effort resolveUrls will try to add a real publisher URL in a separate resolvedUrl field, but Google frequently does not allow this to be expanded — so it is off by default and never guessed.
