## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

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`).

### What can I get

- 📰 **Top headlines in 90 editions across 72 countries** — every story with images, authors, publisher & related coverage
- 🔍 **Search any keyword, 100 articles deep** — date ranges, publisher filter, exact phrases & real publisher URLs
- 🧵 **Full coverage of any story** — top picks, opinion, explainers & every article on it
- 🏙️ **Every topic, city, publisher & journalist** — Technology, Beverly Hills, TechCrunch or your favorite reporter

### Why Google News Scraper

Most other Google News scrapers fail you in one of four ways:

- 🗄️ **Inaccurate, cached, stale data**
- 🧩 **Low-detail data** — a headline and a Google redirect link, never the full picture
- 💸 **Pay more to get the same data**
- 🪦 **Works today, breaks next month** — nobody maintains it

Google News Scraper is scraped live on every run, priced honestly, and actively maintained.

| **Stories** | a `story.id` or news.google.com/stories link | Full coverage: Top news, Opinion, All coverage |

Pick any of **90 editions in 72 countries** with **Country** and **Language** (`US` + `es` = Latin American Spanish in the US).

### Pricing

High value, Low price.

### Run It from Code

Grab your API token from [Integrations Settings here](https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations) and replace `<YOUR_API_TOKEN>` below.

**Python** (`pip install apify-client`)

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("omkar-cloud/google-news-scraper").call(run_input={
    "queries": ["OpenAI"],
    "timePublished": "past_week",
    "resolvePublisherLinks": True,
    "maxArticlesPerSource": 50,
})
for article in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(article["title"], article["publisher"]["name"], article["link"])
```

**Node.js** (`npm install apify-client`)

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('omkar-cloud/google-news-scraper').call({
    includeTopHeadlines: true,
    locations: ['Beverly Hills, CA'],
    publications: ['techcrunch.com'],
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

### FAQ

**How much does a run cost?** $1 per 1,000 articles, flat. 100 search results with publisher URLs cost $0.15; the ~70 top headlines cost $0.07.

**Do I get the real article URL?** Yes. Headlines, topic, city, publisher, journalist and story rows always carry it. Search results come with a news.google.com link unless you turn on the Publisher URL add-on.

**How far back does search go?** Google News returns up to 100 results per query. Use **Published on or after** / **Published before** to slice older news into date windows.
