watchQueries

Required

One to ten literal news-search queries, such as OpenAI, "Acme Corp", or "Acme Corp" AND security. Each query is sent to Google News RSS and retained rows record the query that produced them. Use plain news-search syntax only; this is not a social-network handle list or a request for sentiment analysis.

Max. items:10

Example:

[
  "OpenAI",
  "Anthropic"

Optional

Optional public feeds or publisher homepages to include alongside Google News, for example https://hnrss.org/frontpage. Homepage URLs are inspected only for an advertised public feed.

Maximum mentions to return

maxItems

Optional

Whole-run maximum number of normalized mentions persisted, from 1 to 500. The actor stops before this cap, so the $0.01 per-mention event charge cannot exceed it. This is not a per-query or per-source limit.

Maximum:500

Default:100

Example:

100

Keywords to exclude

excludeKeywords

Optional case-insensitive terms that remove matching headlines, snippets, or feed text, such as sponsored. Leave empty to retain all otherwise eligible mentions. These are literal contains checks, not Boolean query syntax or regular expressions.

  "sponsored"
