FAQ

How do I scrape Google News for a keyword? Enter one or more Search queries, pick the country edition and time range, and start. Each article comes back with title, source, date and the original URL.

Is this an official Google News API? No. This is an independent tool that reads Google News' public RSS feeds and returns the results as JSON via the Apify API, MCP or integrations. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google.

Which countries and languages are supported? 18 Google News editions, e.g. US, UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Brazil, India, Japan.

Do I get the original article URL? Yes. Google's redirect links are decoded to the publisher's URL by default.

Can I get the full article text? No. The former full-text option has been discontinued out of respect for publishers' rights (copyright, press publishers' rights and text-and-data-mining reservations). The Actor never downloads publisher pages; an old includeFullText setting is ignored and nothing is charged for it. Follow the article URL to read the article on the publisher's site.

How far back does it go? Use the time range (last hour to last year). Google News returns up to about 100 articles per query.

Notes
