Google News Scraper

Scrape Google News by keyword, topic or link. Get every headline with its source, publish time and the original article URL (the real publisher link, not a Google redirect). Covers 28 country editions and works great on a schedule for news monitoring.

What does Google News Scraper do?

Google News Scraper collects articles from Google News for any keyword, topic or Google News page you choose. Each article becomes a clean row: headline, publisher, publisher website, publish time and a direct link to the original story.

It runs on the Apify platform, so you also get API access, scheduled runs, integrations (Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make, webhooks) and run monitoring.

How many results will I get?

Up to 100 articles per keyword, topic or link. For more coverage, run several narrower searches, for example the same keyword with different site: filters or editions, or schedule frequent runs with a short time range.

Tips

• Alerts: schedule hourly with timeRange: 1h and connect Slack or email to get new mentions as they happen.
• Faster runs: turn off resolveArticleUrls if Google News links are enough for you.
• Exact matches: put brand names in quotes ("Acme Corp") to avoid unrelated results.
• Local news: pick the edition of the country you care about. Results differ a lot between editions.
