# Get Google News Article Descriptions and Images

**Use case:** 

Collect up to 10 Microsoft news records with direct article URLs, descriptions and images when available. Change the topic to build your own news dataset. Missing or blocked metadata is marked explicitly; full article text is not collected. Up to $0.0035 with the saved memory setting. Saved records are charged even when metadata is missing.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/monkey.d.scraping/google-news-scraper-lite.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
