Google News Scraper & Google News API with Full Article Text

A Google News scraper and news API for news monitoring and media monitoring. Search Google News by keyword or topic in any country/language edition and get clean JSON: headline, publisher, real publisher article URL (decoded from the Google News RSS link), publish time, related stories in the same cluster, and optionally the full article text. Turns the Google News RSS feed into structured data with no browser, so it is fast and cheap: $1 per 1,000 articles, $3 per 1,000 with full text.

What you get

• Any query, any edition. Keywords with Google operators (site:reuters.com, "exact phrase", -exclude), in any language/country edition (en/US, de/DE, pt-BR/BR...).
• Topics. Top stories, World, Nation, Business, Technology, Entertainment, Sports, Science, Health.
• Decoded publisher URLs. Google News RSS only gives news.google.com/rss/articles/... links. This Actor resolves each one to the publisher's own URL with Google's own decoder, in batches.
• Accurate time windows. Relative ranges (past hour, day, week, month, year) or exact dateFrom/dateTo days. Results outside your window are dropped, so a "past day" search really is the past day.
• Go past 100 results. Google News returns about 100 headlines per feed. Turn on Split by day with a date range and the Actor fetches one feed per day, deduplicated.
• Full text (optional). Fetches each publisher page and extracts the readable body with Mozilla Readability, plus author, excerpt, lead image and the page's own publish time. Paywalled or bot-blocking sites return a short or empty body with the reason in fullTextError.

Pricing

Pay per result:

• $1.00 per 1,000 articles (headline, publisher, decoded URL, publish time).
• $3.00 per 1,000 articles with full text in total: the $1 article price plus a $2 per 1,000 full-text add-on. The add-on is only charged when text was actually extracted.
• A tiny start fee of $0.00005 per run.

Input example

{
    "queries": ["nvidia", "site:reuters.com openai"],
    "topics": ["TECHNOLOGY"],
    "language": "en",
    "country": "US",
    "timeRange": "1d",
    "maxArticlesPerQuery": 100,

Output example

{
    "query": "nvidia",
    "searchType": "query",
    "position": 1,
    "title": "Nvidia, worth $5.5tn, donates $250m to UK for AI safety research",
    "publisher": "The Guardian",
    "publisherUrl": "https://www.theguardian.com",
    "url": "https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/oct/14/nvidia-donates-to-uk-ai-safety-research",
    "domain": "theguardian.com",
    "urlDecoded": true,
    "googleNewsUrl": "https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMi...?oc=5",
    "publishedAt": "2026-10-14T12:49:00.000Z",
    "relatedArticles": [],
    "language": "en-US",
    "country": "US",
    "duplicateOfEarlierSearch": false,
    "scrapedAt": "2026-10-14T14:30:00.000Z"
}

With full text on, each item also has text, wordCount, author, excerpt, siteName, lang, leadImageUrl, publishedTime and fullTextError.

A RUN_SUMMARY record in the key-value store lists per-search counts, URLs decoded, full-text successes and any failures.

Tips and limits

• Results come from Google News's public RSS feeds, in Google's relevance order.
• Dates are UTC days. Google sometimes lists a story under a slightly different time than the publisher page; both are in the output (publishedAt from Google, publishedTime from the page).
• Full article text is copyrighted by its publishers. Use it for your own analysis, monitoring or research.
• If Google rate-limits the run's IP (HTTP 429), the Actor switches to Apify Proxy automatically.

If this Actor saved you time, a quick rating on the Store helps a lot.
