South Africa News Headline Collector (News24)
What does this actor do?
It collects the latest South African news headlines from News24's public RSS feeds into clean, structured JSON: title, link, summary, and publish time. Point it at any News24 section feed (Top Stories, South Africa, Business, Sport, ...), schedule it on Apify, and you have a continuously updated ZA news dataset with API access, webhooks, and integrations — no feed-parsing code on your side.
Why use it?
- Media monitoring: track coverage of a company, person, or topic in ZA media.
- Sentiment & research pipelines: a stable JSON feed for NLP workflows.
- Newsletters & dashboards: always-fresh headline blocks without manual curation.
How to use it
- Keep the default feeds or paste other News24 section RSS URLs.
- Run or schedule the actor (e.g. every 30 minutes).
- Consume the dataset via UI download or the Apify API.
Input
{"feeds": ["https://feeds.capi24.com/v1/Search/articles/news24/topstories/rss"],"maxItemsPerFeed": 50}
Output
{"source": "https://feeds.capi24.com/v1/Search/articles/news24/topstories/rss","channel": "News24 news24/topstories/rss","title": "Example headline about South Africa","link": "https://www.news24.com/politics/example-article","description": "One-paragraph summary as published in the feed.","pubDate": "Saturday Jul 25 2026 16:23:07","collectedAt": "2026-07-25T18:00:00.000Z"}
You can download the dataset in JSON, CSV, or Excel formats.

Automate it: Tasks + scheduling (recommended)
News is a stream — schedule the actor and treat the dataset as your feed:
- Click Create task and save your feed list.
- Set the Schedule to every 30–60 minutes for near-real-time coverage.
- Dedupe on
linkacross runs to build a clean rolling archive for monitoring or NLP. - Use Integrations to stream new headlines into Slack, a webhook, or straight into your pipeline via the API.
Pro pattern: one task per beat — "topstories", "business", "politics" — each with its own cadence and destination.
Pricing
Pay-per-event: a small flat fee per run plus a fraction of a cent per headline. A half-hourly schedule typically costs a few cents per day.
Disclaimers & support
This actor consumes RSS feeds News24 publishes for exactly this purpose and stores only headline metadata — never full article text (copyright stays with the publisher). No personal data is collected. Questions or breakage: Issues tab, answered within the Apify 14-day SLA.
