# Configure Google News topic monitoring by country for Kenya

**Use case:** 

Policy researchers can gather English coverage of Kenya renewable energy using a weekly time filter and Kenya locale. Article metadata keeps publication sources and links for a manual news brief. The output is coverage discovery rather than an assessment of energy policy.

## Input

```json
{
  "keywords": [
    "Kenya renewable energy"
  ],
  "timeRange": "past_week",
  "maxArticlesPerKeyword": 3,
  "extractFullText": false,
  "language": "en",
  "country": "KE",
  "maxConcurrency": 1
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "keyword": {
    "label": "Keyword",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "title": {
    "label": "Title",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "source": {
    "label": "Source",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "publishedAt": {
    "label": "Published",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "snippet": {
    "label": "Snippet",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "articleUrl": {
    "label": "Article URL",
    "format": "link"
  },
  "scrapedAt": {
    "label": "Scraped At",
    "format": "text"
  }
}
```

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/george.the.developer/google-news-monitor.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
