Google News Scraper (Search & Topics)

Google News Scraper exports Google News results for any keyword or topic: headline, publisher, publisher website, publish date, Google News link, and (optionally) the original article URL. Choose the language, country, and time range, run many queries at once, and download the results as CSV, Excel, or JSON for media monitoring, brand tracking, PR reports, market research, or news datasets.

What can this tool do?

• Search Google News for many keywords in one run, with full Google News search syntax ("exact phrase", OR, -exclude, site:reuters.com, after:2026-01-01).
• Export topic headlines: Top stories, World, Business, Technology, Science, Health, Sports, Entertainment.
• Pick any Google News edition by language and country, for example English–US, German–Germany, Portuguese–Brazil.
• Limit results to the past hour, day, week, month, or year.
• Optionally resolve Google's redirect links to the publisher's original article URL.
• Return the same clean columns for every article, sorted as Google ranks them (position).

Is it legal?

This tool reads Google News' public RSS feeds: headlines, publisher names, dates, and links, which Google publishes for feed readers. It does not download article text, log in, or bypass access controls, and it collects no personal data. Headlines and articles belong to their publishers; you are responsible for how you use the data.

FAQ

Why do I get at most 100 articles per query? Google News returns up to 100 results for each query. To collect more, split the query by time with after: and before: (for example one query per week), or use more specific keywords.

Why is articleUrl empty? It is only filled when Find original article URLs is on. Google sometimes pauses these lookups for a while; the run still succeeds and the googleNewsUrl link still opens the article.

Does it get the full article text? No. It exports headlines and links only; the article text belongs to each publisher.
