Why this actor

• Original article URLs. url is the publisher's own link (e.g. https://www.reuters.com/…), resolved from Google's redirect, so you can fetch, deduplicate or cite the article directly. The Google link is kept in googleNewsUrl.
• No browser. Feeds and URL resolution are plain HTTP requests: fast runs, low cost.
• Any edition. Searches, the eight Google News topics and Top stories, for any language and country.
• Google search operators work. site:, intitle:, quotes, OR and -word in queries.
• Pay only for what you keep. Duplicates across feeds are removed before saving, and URLs are resolved only for articles that fit in maxResults and your spending limit.

What you can use it for

• Media monitoring and brand mentions across thousands of publishers.
• News feeds for AI agents, RAG pipelines and newsletters: the real URL lets you fetch the full article.
• Market and competitor intelligence by country edition and language.

FAQ

How do I cap what a run costs? Set a maximum cost per run in the run options (or with maxTotalChargeUsd via the API). The actor stops cleanly when the limit is reached, keeps every article collected so far and does not spend requests on articles it would not return. maxResults caps the number of articles as well.

Why is url sometimes null? In rare cases Google does not resolve a redirect link. The article is still returned with googleNewsUrl, which opens the article in a browser. A feed that fails to load is reported in the log and skipped; the run continues with the others.

How do I get more than ~100 articles for a subject? Google News lists up to about 100 articles per feed. Split the subject into narrower queries (e.g. by site: or keyword) or use shorter time ranges and run it more often.

Can I call it from code, an AI agent or an automation tool? Yes. Run it through the Apify API and get the dataset in the same call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/Neatfeeds~google-news-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"queries": ["electric vehicles"], "timeRange": "1d", "maxResults": 20}'

It also works with Apify schedules, webhooks and integrations such as Make, Zapier and n8n, and with AI agents through the Apify MCP server.
