Google News Scraper | Headlines and Real URLs

Scrape Google News by keyword, topic or Google News URL, in any language and country, and get clean rows: headline, publisher, publish date, the real article URL (decoded from Google's redirect links) and optional related coverage. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or straight into your pipeline via API.

• $1 per 1,000 articles (+$0.50 per 1,000 decoded publisher URLs). Up to 4x cheaper than popular alternatives at $4-5 per 1,000.
• More than 100 results: give a date range and the Actor searches day by day, then removes duplicates. A normal Google News search stops at 100.
• Real URLs: news.google.com/rss/articles/... links are decoded to https://www.reuters.com/.... Failed decodes are not charged.
• Any edition: language + country (en/US, tr/TR, de/DE, pt-BR/BR ...). Topic headlines: TOP, WORLD, BUSINESS, TECHNOLOGY, SPORTS, SCIENCE, HEALTH ...
• Google News search operators: "exact phrase", -exclude, OR, site:reuters.com, intitle:.
• Light and fast: no browser, no proxy, 256 MB. Bad input never fails the run; problems become free status rows.

Use cases

• Media monitoring / PR: every article that mentions your brand, competitors or CEO, every day.
• Market and investment research: news flow per company, sector or ticker, with dates for time series.
• AI and RAG pipelines: fresh, dated news URLs to feed an LLM or a summariser (pair it with a URL-to-Markdown actor).
• SEO and content: which publishers rank in Google News for your topics.
• Local news: any country and language edition.

{
  "queries": ["electric cars", "site:reuters.com tesla"],
  "topics": ["TECHNOLOGY"],
  "language": "en",
  "country": "US",
  "timeRange": "7d",
  "maxArticlesPerQuery": 100

Output

{
  "type": "article",
  "title": "Europe EV sales rose 70% in September",
  "source": "Reuters",
  "sourceUrl": "https://www.reuters.com",
  "publishedAt": "2026-10-19T16:00:26.000Z",
  "url": "https://www.reuters.com/business/europe-ev-sales-rose-70-september-...",
  "urlResolved": true,
  "googleNewsUrl": "https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMi...",
  "searchQuery": "electric cars",
  "language": "en-US",
  "country": "US"
}

Rows with type: "status" explain problems (no results, invalid topic, temporary errors). They are free.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.001 per article, $0.0005 per decoded URL (turn resolveUrls off to pay only $1 per 1,000). Status rows are free. Set a maximum cost per run in Apify and the Actor stops cleanly there.

FAQ

How do I get more than 100 articles? Set dateFrom (and optionally dateTo). Each day is searched separately, so a 30-day range can return up to about 3,000 articles for one query.

Why are some URLs not decoded? Google occasionally refuses a decode request. Those rows keep googleNewsUrl, have urlResolved: false and the decode is not charged.

Is it legal? The Actor reads Google News's public RSS feeds. Check Google's terms and your local law for your use case; do not republish full articles you do not own.
