## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

### Direct Link Google News Scraper

Extract the latest Google news articles from the past 24 hours with our fast and efficient scraper. It can gather a large number of results for a low price.

#### Features:

- Extract News Articles from the Past 24 Hours (based on actual article published date, not on Google News published date)
- Extract Article Direct Links

#### Adjust Memory Limit via API

You can adjust the memory limit for the actor run via the API call, helping to prevent out-of-memory (OOM) errors.

To set the memory limit to 4 GB or more and trigger the actor run, use this GET request:

```bash
GET https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/aymorato~super-fast-google-news-scraper-pay-per-result/runs?memory=4096&token=YOUR_API_TOKEN
```

Replace **YOUR_API_TOKEN** with your actual API token.

#### Sample Input:

```json
{
    "keywords": [
        "climate change"
    ]
}
```

#### Sample Ouput:

```json

# Actor input Schema

## `directLink` (type: `boolean`):

Check this option if you want to extract actual article links from the article's page metadata. If you don't need actual article links and images, you can leave this option unchecked and your run will be significantly faster and cheaper.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

The keyword used to search for news articles.

## `language` (type: `string`):

Select your language and region pair.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Set the maximum number of items you want to scrape for each keyword. If you leave this field unset, the actor will extract all available news.

## `proxy` (type: `object`):

Select proxies to be used.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keywords": [
    "tesla"
  ],
  "language": "US:en",
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "keywords": [
        "tesla"
    ],
    "proxy": {
        "useApifyProxy": false
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("aymorato/super-fast-google-news-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "keywords": ["tesla"],
    "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": False },
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("aymorato/super-fast-google-news-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "keywords": [
    "tesla"
  ],
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}' |
apify call aymorato/super-fast-google-news-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,aymorato/super-fast-google-news-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
