Google News Scraper: Real Article URLs & Full Text

Collect news articles from Google News by keyword, topic or top stories, in any country and language. Every article comes with the real publisher URL (not a news.google.com redirect), and you can also get the full article text, author and main image. Date ranges are split day by day, so one search can return thousands of articles, not just Google's usual 100.

What you get

Field	Details
Article	Title, source name, source website, publish date
Real URL	The publisher's own article link, decoded from Google News
Full text	Main article text, author, description, image (optional)
Position	Rank in the Google News results
Google link	Original Google News link for reference

• AI and RAG pipelines: feed clean article text to an LLM or a vector database.

Pricing

Pay per result, no start fee:

• $0.002 per article with the real URL ($2 per 1,000)
• +$0.002 per article with full text, only when Full article text is on and the text was extracted

Failed feeds and articles whose text could not be extracted are not charged for the text.

Tips

• Without dates, Google News returns up to about 100 articles per search. Set From date to collect more: the Actor runs one search per day.
• Use Time range = Past 24 hours for a daily monitoring task.
• Some publishers block text extraction (paywalls); those articles still come with title, source and URL.
