Google News Scraper Pulse

Keep your briefing decks, newsletters, or alerting bots stocked with the latest headlines straight from Google News. Google News Scraper Pulse is a professional actor made for Apify Marketplace customers who need dependable, structured story data without fiddling with scrapers or browser automation.

Why teams pick Google News Scraper Pulse

• Editorial-grade signals – capture title, destination URL, publisher, optional author, timestamps, and preview image for every visible article card.
• Dial in the workload – the maxItems limit protects your runs, credits, and automations from ballooning.
• Proxy-aware by design – point the actor at any Apify Proxy group (or none) depending on the geography you need to emulate.
• Drop-in data exports – each run lands in the default dataset so you can export JSON, CSV, XML, RSS, or plug it into Webhooks / Integrations immediately.

What you get per item

{
  "title": "India and China trade barbs after passenger detained at Shanghai airport",
