Google News Scraper — Real Article URLs + Full Text

Scrape Google News search results and topic headlines in any language and country, and get what other Google News scrapers don't give you:

• ✅ The real publisher URL — not the news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMi… redirect that breaks in your pipeline
• 📰 Full article text, author, main image and description (optional add-on) — ready for LLMs, summarization, sentiment analysis and RAG
• 📅 More than 100 results — Google News caps every feed at ~100 items; set a date range and the Actor automatically splits it into daily windows
• 🔗 Related coverage — other outlets covering the same story (topic feeds)
• 🌍 Any language / country — en-US, de, fr, tr, ja, pt-BR…
• 🔎 Google News operators — "exact phrase", OR, -exclude, site:reuters.com, intitle:

Use cases

• Media monitoring & PR — track every mention of your brand, competitors or executives; schedule hourly with timeRange: 1h.
• Finance & trading signals — news flow for tickers and companies, with full text for NLP sentiment.
• AI agents & RAG — fresh, clean article text as context for LLM answers.
• Market research — trend coverage across countries and languages.
• Content curation / newsletters — daily digests by topic.

FAQ

Why are some articles missing text? Paywalled (WSJ, FT…) or bot-protected sites don't serve text to automated visitors. You still get the real URL and metadata.

Do I need a proxy? The default Apify datacenter proxy is used to avoid Google rate limits — no setup needed.

Can I monitor news continuously? Yes — create a Schedule (e.g. every hour with timeRange: 1h) and connect a webhook, Slack, Google Sheets or Zapier integration.
