Google News Scraper — Real Article URLs & Full Text

Get Google News articles with the publisher's real URL (not Google's redirect), optional full text, any country & language, and unlimited history by splitting date ranges by day. $2 per 1,000 articles.

Most Google News scrapers return news.google.com/rss/articles/... redirect links that break in your pipeline. This Actor decodes every link into the real article URL — and can extract the full article text for you.

• Works with keywords and Google operators: "exact phrase", OR, -exclude, site:reuters.com, intitle:
• Topics: top headlines for World, Business, Technology, Sports, Science, Health…
• Any edition: en-US, en-GB, en-IN, de-DE, fr-FR, es-ES, pt-BR, ja-JP…
• Deep history: set a date range and the Actor queries day by day to go beyond Google's ~100-results-per-query cap
• Monitoring mode: skips articles you already received — schedule hourly for alerts

FAQ

Why are some url values null? Rarely Google doesn't expose the target; you still get the Google News link.

Why is text empty for some articles? Paywalls and bot protection on some publishers. You're only charged the full-text fee when text is extracted.
