Google News Scraper — articles by keyword or topic, with real publisher URLs

Google News Scraper returns Google News articles for any keyword, topic or site — title, source, publish time, snippet and the real publisher URL (not Google's redirect link). Time-frame, language, country and site filters. No login, no API key. Export JSON, CSV or Excel.

What does it do?

Give it search queries (Google operators work) or topics (World, Business, Technology…) and it returns the current Google News results as flat rows. Use it for news monitoring, PR and brand tracking, market and competitor research, media datasets and alerting.

Features

• Search by keyword with operators ("exact phrase", -exclude, OR) or by topic (WORLD, NATION, BUSINESS, TECHNOLOGY, ENTERTAINMENT, SPORTS, SCIENCE, HEALTH).
• Time frame (1h, 1d, 7d, 30d, 1y), site filter, language and country (any Google News edition).
• Publisher URL resolution — the actual article link plus source name and source site.
• Sort by relevance or newest; up to 100 articles per query/topic; multiple queries per run.
• Incremental mode (onlyNew) for scheduled news monitoring; maxItems cost cap.

FAQ

Do I need an API key? No. Does it return the article text? No — title, source, time, snippet and URL (use the URL with a content crawler for full text). How many articles per query? Google News exposes up to 100 per feed.

Limitations

Google News returns up to 100 articles per query/topic. Publisher URL resolution adds one request per article and can occasionally fail (the Google link is always returned). Full article text is not included.

Google News API alternative

A Google News API alternative: scrape Google News articles by keyword, topic and site, with the real publisher link, as JSON, CSV or Excel.
