Google News Scraper — Articles, Sources & Real Links

Get Google News articles for any search, topic, country and date range: headline, source, publish time and the real publisher link — not the news.google.com redirect. Put in as many searches and topics as you like; one run does them all.

Why this one

• 🔗 Real article links. Google News feeds only give news.google.com/rss/articles/… redirect links. This Actor turns every one of them into the publisher's own URL — in a live test run, 1,006 of 1,006.
• 📅 More than 100 articles per search. Google News stops at 100 articles per list. Set a date range (or ask for more than 100) and the Actor reads one day at a time: a live run of Tesla returned 300 articles over four days.
• ⚡ Fast and light. No browser. The live test run above — 4 searches and 2 topics, 1,006 articles — took 96 seconds.
• 📰 Top stories with the whole story. For top stories, every article also lists the other outlets covering the same story.
• 💸 You pay only for articles delivered. A search with no articles comes back as a free record with the reason.

What you get

For every article:

Field	What it is
title	the headline (without the " - Source" Google adds)
source, sourceUrl	the publisher and its website
publishedAt	publish time, ISO 8601 (UTC)
url	the publisher's own link to the article
googleNewsUrl, articleId	the Google News link and its id
relatedCoverage	for top stories: the same story from other outlets (title, source)
input, inputType, position	which search or topic it came from, and its place in that list
edition	the Google News edition, e.g. US:en
scrapedAt	when the row was read
status, error	OK, or why a search gave nothing

If a link cannot be decoded, url is empty and urlError says why; the article is still delivered with its googleNewsUrl.

Example

A real record from a live run — top stories, United States edition, 24 September 2026:

  "source": "BBC",
  "sourceUrl": "https://www.bbc.com",
  "publishedAt": "2026-09-24T10:29:35.000Z",

  "relatedCoverage": [
    { "title": "Judge orders Trump administration to immediately reinstate White House access to CNN, MS NOW and Politico", "source": "CNN" },
    { "title": "Politico denied access to White House after judge's order, news outlet says", "source": "Reuters" }
  ],
  "edition": "US:en",
  "status": "OK"
}

How to use it

1. Add Search queries — one per line. Google News operators work: "interest rates" site:reuters.com, "exact phrase", -exclude.
2. And/or pick Topics: top stories, world, nation, business, technology, entertainment, sports, science, health.
3. Set the Country and Language of the edition (US + en, DE + de, BR + pt-419…).
4. Narrow it down with a Time frame (past hour … past year), or set From date / To date to read a period day by day.
5. Press Start, and download the results from the Output tab as JSON, CSV or Excel.

To monitor a brand or a topic, save your input as a task and schedule it hourly or daily.

You can also call it from the Apify API, from Make, Zapier or n8n, or from an AI agent through the Apify MCP server.

Pricing

You are charged per article delivered — see the price on this page. Searches with no articles are free, and so are articles outside your dates. If your run has a Maximum charge, the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached and tells you how many searches or topics were left.

FAQ

Why do I get at most 100 articles without dates? Google News returns at most 100 articles per list. Ask for more than 100, or set dates, and the Actor reads the period one day at a time — each day again up to 100.

Do you get the article text? No — the headline, source, time and link. Open the url to read the article on the publisher's site.

Why are some articles a few hours outside the day I asked for? They are not: with dates set, articles whose publish time falls outside them are skipped and not charged. Google's own day boundaries are not UTC, so the Actor checks every article itself.

Is this affiliated with Google? No. This is an independent tool that reads the public Google News feeds.
