Random Dates

With any query I test, the results I get are from random dates over the last few years. If I would do the same query in the browser, I would see lots of news that have been posted in the last 24h and so on. I am not sure what is being retrieved, but it doesn't seem right.

Would like to filter by date - this would be a great feature.

Hello, thank you all for reaching out and I'm very sorry for leaving this issue unresolved for this long 👀

I'm currently reworking the Actor to get it in a better condition. I'm resolving the critical bugs first and then I'm moving to new filtering options as you suggested. I'm also planning to add support for multi queries. I'll keep you updated about the progress here

Hello all, the first version of the date filter has just been published to latest 🙂 You can now use the new input fields dateFrom and dateTo to scrape news only from the specific date interval.

You can check out the example run that filters news from 2024-08-17 to 2024-08-20: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/bX18domj673qYOWfd

Also, please note that for those using the extractImages feature, it is currently working slower than usual. This is due to a recent change in the mechanism for decoding Google News URLs, and the Actor is using a temporary fix to manage this. The request handling process will be optimized soon.
