Google News Delta Feed

Search Google News in a chosen country and language. The Actor reads Google's public RSS feed, merges the same article found by several searches, filters publisher domains, and returns structured headlines. Enable onlyNew: true and repeat a run with the same monitorId to receive only article IDs that have not been delivered before. Run it manually, by the Apify API, or on an Apify Schedule.

Input

{
  "queries": ["\"Stripe\" hiring", "\"Stripe\" expansion"],
  "country": "US",
  "language": "en",
  "hoursBack": 48,
  "onlyNew": true,
  "monitorId": "stripe-signals",
  "maxArticlesPerQuery": 25,
  "maxItems": 100
}

Google News search operators such as site:, when:, quotes and OR can be used in each query. Set includeDomains or excludeDomains to narrow publishers. Each article has its headline, publisher, publication time, Google News link, stable Google News ID and all matching queries. No publisher full text, direct publisher article URL, AI analysis or search ranking is claimed.

The default mode returns current matching articles on every run. With onlyNew: true, the first run returns current matches and later runs with the same monitorId, country and language skip previously delivered IDs. Use a different monitor ID for independent searches. The state retains the most recent 10,000 IDs. The RUN_SUMMARY key-value record contains fetched, failed and delivered counts; an empty dataset on a quiet monitoring run is normal. Avoid overlapping runs with the same monitor ID.

Pricing

The Store pricing panel is authoritative. Intended pay-per-event prices are $0.001 per successfully fetched query and $0.0004 per article delivered. One query returning 20 new articles costs about $0.009, before Apify's tiny automatic start fee. Previously delivered articles are not charged again in onlyNew mode. An empty but successful query still incurs its query charge. Set a maximum charge per run in Apify; it must cover query scans plus at least one article to receive a result.

Source and limits

This Actor calls news.google.com/rss/search by HTTPS. It uses no browser, proxy or third-party AI API. Results are what Google News includes in its public RSS window at the time of the request, often at most about 100 per search. Google may change ranking, coverage, feed format or access; this is not a complete news archive. A Google News search may include loosely related articles; inspect the headline and publisher before using it as a business signal. Failed queries are logged and not charged. The Actor does not fetch or republish full publisher articles.
