Google News Scraper

Collect Google News RSS articles from search queries, top stories, and topic feeds. Google News returns headlines, publisher names, publication dates, descriptions, and Google article links. Optionally resolve the original publisher URL.

Use cases

• Media monitoring and brand or executive mentions
• PR coverage tracking
• Finance news signals and market research
• Topic feeds for AI agents, MCP services, and RAG pipelines
• Search feeds using Google operators such as site:, quoted phrases, and when:

Input

{
  "searchQueries": ["artificial intelligence", "site:reuters.com \"AI chips\""],
  "topics": ["TECHNOLOGY", "BUSINESS"],
  "country": "US",
  "timeRange": "1d",
  "decodeUrls": false,
  "maxItemsPerSource": 20
}

Choose one of 47 verified Google News editions (US, UK, India, Germany, France, Brazil, Japan, Israel, Australia, Canada, Spain, Mexico, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, and more). The language follows the edition (for example Germany = German, Mexico = Spanish). TOP selects top stories; topic feeds also include WORLD, NATION, BUSINESS, TECHNOLOGY, ENTERTAINMENT, SPORTS, SCIENCE, and HEALTH. Search queries accept Google operators as written. timeRange appends when:1h, when:1d, when:7d, or when:30d to each search query; any leaves it alone.

Output

Each article is one charged article-result row. Summary and error rows are free. Duplicate Google links are removed across the run.

This is a trimmed row parsed from a real Google News RSS item. When decodeUrls is enabled, url contains the publisher URL if Google resolves it; otherwise it remains null.

Price and limits

Price: $1.00 per 1,000 articles. An article row is one article-result event. Google News RSS generally returns about 100 items per query or feed; actual counts vary by query and edition. maxItemsPerSource defaults to 100 and is capped at 1,000. Search and topic results share a run-wide link dedupe. Decoding makes extra requests to Google and is slower; it runs with at most two requests concurrently and retries HTTP 429/5xx responses.

FAQ

How fresh are the results? Google News RSS reflects Google's feed at scrape time. The feed's publication timestamps are supplied by publishers and can lag or be absent.

How many articles are returned per query? Google News usually returns around 100 RSS items. Set maxItemsPerSource to limit how many are kept; a smaller feed or duplicate links can produce fewer rows.

What does URL decoding do? Google article links are retained in link. With decoding enabled, the actor reads Google's article page signature and calls its batch endpoint to resolve the publisher URL into url. Google can rate-limit these requests, in which case url stays null.

Can queries use Google search operators? Yes. Use site:, quoted phrases, and other Google News search syntax directly. The selected time range adds a when: operator to the end.
