Google News Scraper with Real Article URLs

Search Google News by keyword or topic, in any country and language, and get the real publisher article URLs, not news.google.com redirect links. For every article you get the title, source, publish date and URL, ready for monitoring, research, SEO or AI pipelines. You pay only per article delivered.

Why this Actor

Google News RSS links point to news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMi... redirects that most tools and AI agents cannot open. This Actor resolves each one to the publisher's URL (for example https://www.reuters.com/...). With URL decoding on (the default), an article whose URL could not be resolved is still returned with url: null and not charged.

What you get

Field	Description
title	Headline, with Google's " - Source" suffix removed
source, sourceUrl	Publisher name and homepage
url	The article URL on the publisher's site
googleNewsUrl	Original Google News link
publishedAt	Publish date (ISO)
query / topic, position	What produced the article and its rank in Google News

Example item:

{
  "query": "electric cars",
  "position": 1,
  "title": "Automakers bet on cheaper batteries for 2027 models",
  "source": "Example Times",
  "sourceUrl": "https://www.example-times.com",
  "url": "https://www.example-times.com/business/2026/09/28/automakers-cheaper-batteries",
  "googleNewsUrl": "https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMi...",
  "publishedAt": "2026-09-28T14:05:00.000Z"
}

How to use

1. Add Search queries. Google News operators work: "exact phrase", site:reuters.com, intitle:bitcoin, tesla OR byd, -rumor.
2. Or pick Topics (World, Business, Technology, Science, Health, Sports, Entertainment, Nation) for the edition's top headlines.
3. Choose the edition's Country and Language (for example US/en, IT/it, DE/de, BR/pt-BR) and a Published within period.
4. Run, then export as JSON, CSV or Excel, schedule it for daily monitoring, or call it through the API, Make, Zapier, n8n or an AI agent via MCP.

Use cases

Brand and competitor monitoring, PR clipping, market and investment research, SEO news tracking, and feeding fresh news to LLM agents and RAG systems with URLs they can actually open.

Pricing

$2 per 1,000 articles ($0.002 each), including the real URL. While URL decoding is on, articles whose URL could not be resolved are free; with Get real article URLs turned off, each article is charged the normal price. Failed queries and empty searches are always free. The run stops by itself when your spending limit is reached.

No double charges: the same query typed twice (ignoring case and extra spaces) is searched once, and an article found by several queries or topics in the same run is delivered and charged only once, under the first query or topic that found it.

Limits

Google News returns up to 100 articles per query or topic. For more coverage, split a search into several narrower queries (for example by site: or by time period).
