|---|---|---|

Google News returns up to 100 articles per query. A query with no results returns 0 items (no charge).
About real URLs. The feed only carries news.google.com links. This actor asks Google's own
article endpoint for the publisher URL (plain requests, one per second). Google allows only a
limited number of those per client: in testing the first 5 resolved 5/5, and after roughly ten more
Google started answering 429. The actor respects that limit — it never changes IPs or identity —
so once Google stops answering, the remaining articles are returned with the Google link only
(article_url = null) and the run completes normally. Set decode_urls to false in the target
settings if you only need the feed.
Google news rss — input
Each target is query|hl|gl: the search query, the interface language (en-US, ja, de, …)
and the country (US, JP, DE, …). hl and gl are optional and default to en-US / US.
Google's search operators work as usual (site:, quotes, when:7d, …).
