The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Google News RSS - Residential IPs Pull Google News RSS for any query through a real US residential IP (Verizon AS701) and get back parsed news items plus the raw RSS XML. Each request rotates LRU through a 23-IP residential pool. Every dataset item includes the literal egress IP so you can verify it yourself with `ipapi.com` or WHOIS. This Actor is a thin wrapper around the **MoneyMaker Residential Scraping API**'s `/v1/scrape/google-news/rss` endpoint. Apify hosts and runs the Actor; the residential proxy fleet runs on Hetzner with Verizon AS701 ISP proxies. Apify does **not** charge for this Actor — you bring your own API key from the MoneyMaker listing on RapidAPI (or directly from the publisher). --- ### Why residential matters for Google News Google News applies the same kind of ASN-level filtering that Search does: high-volume datacenter ranges (AWS, GCP, DO, Azure) get throttled, get served degraded interstitials, or hit a CAPTCHA the moment they cross a volume threshold across the /24. Residential ASNs are treated as ordinary home users. For the RSS endpoint specifically: - Datacenter IPs that hammer `news.google.com/rss?q=...` start hitting a CAPTCHA HTML response in place of XML, often within 50-200 requests. - A Verizon AS701 IP holds steady for thousands of requests per day at a polite cadence. The 23-IP pool absorbs bursts. --- ### Use cases - **News monitoring** — daily polling of `q=""` plus `q=""`, push deltas to Slack / Linear / a database. - **Brand-mention tracking** — geographic + language coverage by varying `gl` / `ceid` (e.g. US:en, GB:en, DE:de, JP:ja). - **AI training pipelines** — fresh news headline corpus by topic or domain, Google's de-dup + clustering already applied via the RSS feed. - **Content aggregation** — feed a topic newsletter / Discord / RSS reader with curated, source-attributed items. - **Trend analysis** — count headline volume by topic-by-day to model attention cycles. --- ### Inputs | Field | Type | Required | Description | | ------------ | --------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | | `q` | string | yes | Google News query string (`OpenAI`, `site:reuters.com AI`) | | `hl` | string | no | UI language tag, default `en-US` | | `gl` | string | no | Two-letter country code, default `US` | | `ceid` | string | no | Country-edition pair, default `US:en` | | `apiKey` | string (secret) | yes | Your MoneyMaker API key (`mm_sk_...`) | | `apiBaseUrl` | string | no | Default: the public MM origin | | `verifyTls` | boolean | no | Default true | --- ### Output Two kinds of dataset items per run. #### 1. The raw response (one per run) ```json { "kind": "raw_response", "ok": true, "request_id": "req_w-v8wa1qZ79YcihQ", "status_code": 200, "ip_used": "65.195.39.208", "proxy_node": "Hetzner-12", "headers": { "content-type": "application/xml; charset=UTF-8" }, "body": "...", "body_truncated": false, "upstream_latency_ms": 1380, "actor_latency_ms": 1450, "search": { "q": "OpenAI", "hl": "en-US", "gl": "US", "ceid": "US:en" } } ```` #### 2. One parsed news item per dataset item ```json { "kind": "news_item", "ok": true, "title": "OpenAI announces new pricing tier for enterprise customers", "link": "https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMi...", "pub_date": "Tue, 06 May 2026 14:30:00 GMT", "guid": "CBMi...", "source_name": "Reuters", "source_url": "https://www.reuters.com", "description_html": "

", "description_text": "...", "ip_used": "65.195.39.208", "search": { "q": "OpenAI", "hl": "en-US", "gl": "US", "ceid": "US:en" } } ``` The Actor's key-value store also gets a `SUMMARY` record with the search inputs, parsed-item count, the residential IP used, and timing. *** ### How it works ``` Apify run │ ▼ Actor (this code) │ GET /v1/scrape/google-news/rss?q=...&hl=...&gl=...&ceid=... │ Authorization: Bearer ▼ MoneyMaker Scraping API │ Picks an LRU residential proxy from the 23-IP pool ▼ Verizon AS701 home-broadband IP │ GET https://news.google.com/rss/search?... ▼ Google returns RSS XML → JSON wrapper to Actor → push_data ``` You only pay MoneyMaker for the underlying calls — Apify is free. Costs follow the MoneyMaker pricing tiers on RapidAPI. *** ### Pacing guidance - One run is one upstream call. To monitor multiple queries, schedule multiple runs (Apify's scheduler supports cron-like cadence). - Google News RSS is generally cache-friendly — items don't churn faster than Google's editorial ranking re-ranks (every 5-15 minutes per query). Hourly polling is plenty for most monitoring use cases. - Cache the `guid` of items already seen to dedupe across runs. *** ### Limitations - **RSS only.** No full article body. The `link` redirects through Google News's URL wrapper to the original publisher; if you need full article text, follow the link with the `residential-web-scraper` Actor. - **No JS rendering.** Static XML only. - **US residential only.** All egress is Verizon AS701 / United States. You can still ask Google for any country edition via `gl` / `ceid`, but the request itself originates from a US IP. - **No CAPTCHA solving.** If Google returns a challenge instead of XML, you'll see the challenge HTML — it's not auto-solved. - **Body cap of 2 MB** per response. *** ### Source & support The Actor source lives at [`sksyen/moneymaker-dashboard/scripts/apify_actor_google_news_rss`](https://github.com/sksyen/moneymaker-dashboard).
