Why should I scrape AI news?

In the rapidly evolving world of AI, information is paramount. By scraping AI news programmatically, you ensure timely access to crucial developments — new model releases, funding rounds, regulatory changes, and research breakthroughs — without manually browsing dozens of websites. This data is also widely used for AI model training, sentiment analysis, competitive intelligence, and building AI-powered news products.

How much will it cost to scrape AI news?

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing — you pay for each article returned, not for compute time. Each article includes the full text, metadata, and image — scraped from 21 different sources and deduplicated for you.

$0.01 per article.

Date Range	Typical articles	Estimated cost
Last 1 hour	5–15	~$0.05–$0.15
Last 4 hours	15–40	~$0.15–$0.40
Last 12 hours	50–120	~$0.50–$1.20
Last 7 days	200–350	~$2.00–$3.50
Last 14 days	300–500	~$3.00–$5.00

Use the max_news input to cap the number of articles and control spend. Enabling residential proxies adds a small additional cost per request.
