Google News Lite API (retired)
I've retired Google News Lite API, and it no longer returns data. For Google News monitoring, use my Google News API instead.
Use instead
- Google News API: everything this Actor did on the same Google News data: several search terms per run, time ranges from the past hour to the past year, country and language targeting, and article images. See Migrating from Google News Lite.
Moving over from Lite
| Lite input | Google News API input |
|---|---|
searchTerms | queries |
timeRange | time_range |
country | gl |
language | hl |
maxResultsPerSearch | max_pages (about 10 articles per page) |
Google News API returns one row per results page; the News Articles dataset view gives one row per article, like this Actor did. imageUrl is called thumbnail there.
Most used
- YouTube: transcripts and subtitles for any video, plus downloads and Shorts
- LinkedIn: people, profiles, companies, employees and jobs, with no login or cookies
- Google Flights: fares, routes and booking options for any search
- Google Jobs: listings with salaries and apply links, or pay per job
Same deal as everything else I build: clean JSON, pay per result, no monthly rental. All are MCP-ready, so Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT can call them as tools.
Everything is catalogued at AlphaOSINT, searchable by entity, signal or field name.
