# Google News RSS to real article URLs (decoded links)

**Use case:** 

Google News RSS gives encoded news.google.com/rss/articles links. This task reads the same feed for a search and returns each article with the publisher's own URL and domain, title, publish time, snippet and image; a link it cannot decode is kept and flagged urlResolved false. Here: Lufthansa, German edition, past week. $1.80 per 1,000 articles on the free plan.

## Input

```json
{
  "articleUrls": [
    "https://news.google.com/rss/search?q=business&hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US:en"

## 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/hiver/google-news-scraper.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`).
