# Track weekly news mentions of a brand

**Use case:** 

Collect the last week of Google News coverage for a brand name and remember what has already been delivered, so the next run returns only the new stories. Each row carries the headline, publisher, publication time, snippet and the decoded publisher URL. Save it as a schedule and it becomes a media monitor that pays once per article.

## Input

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "Patagonia"
  ],
  "feedType": "search",
  "country": "US",
  "language": "en-US",
  "lastNDays": 7,
  "deepSearch": true,

  "maxTotal": 15,
  "decodeUrls": true,
  "includeArticleBody": false,
  "memoryName": "brand-mentions-demo",
  "concurrency": 8
}
```

## Output

```json

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Google News Scraper: Search, Topics, Decoded URLs](https://apify.com/automation_craft/google-news-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/automation_craft/google-news-scraper.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
