Euronews Scraper

Extract full article text or the newest headlines from Euronews (euronews.com), the pan-European English-language news outlet — no account or subscription needed.

Why use this actor

• No account or login required — fully open-access editorial site with no paywall
• Full article text included, not just a summary — headline, description, byline, publish/modified dates, section, reconstructed into clean paragraphs
• Also fetches the newest headlines straight from the site's RSS feed without visiting each article individually
• Stable JSON output suitable for pipelines, spreadsheets, or databases
• Automatic retries on temporary network hiccups

How it works

1. Give the actor one or more article URLs, or switch to "latest" mode to get the newest stories automatically.
2. In article mode, the actor opens each URL and pulls out the full text and every publicly available detail about the story.
3. In latest mode, the actor reads the site's RSS feed and returns the newest stories.
4. Results stream into your dataset, ready to download as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

You don't need to manage retries, rate limits, or figure out the site's internal data format — the actor handles all of that.

Known limits

• The RSS feed mixes text articles with /video/... video-bulletin items. Video pages don't carry article text — feeding a video URL into article mode intentionally fails loud rather than returning an empty body (see CRAWLING_METHOD.md).
• description in latest mode is a teaser, not the full article body — use article mode against the link for full text.
