📰 Reuters News Scraper: Articles, Authors, Tickers and Full Text

Export Reuters news articles from any category or keyword search as clean JSON, CSV or Excel. The Reuters News Scraper returns each article's headline, summary, URL, publish and update times, authors, section, topic, stock tickers, word count and, on request, the full article text. Use it for news monitoring, financial news feeds, media research or as a simple Reuters news API.

🎯 Use Cases

• Reuters news monitoring: schedule a run every hour and get the newest articles from the sections you follow.
• Financial news by ticker: every article carries the stock tickers Reuters tags it with (for example NVDA.O), so you can filter news per company.
• Keyword news tracking: search Reuters for a company, person or topic and get the newest matching articles first.
• AI and LLM pipelines: turn on full article text and feed clean paragraphs to summarizers, sentiment models or RAG indexes.
• Media and author research: see who covers what, how often and how long the pieces are.

✨ Features

• Category feeds: any Reuters section, e.g. World, Business, Markets, Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Legal.
• Keyword search: newest matching articles first, many keywords per run.
• Rich article data: title, description, URL, display, publish and update times, thumbnail and its caption, section and sub-sections, topic, stock tickers, authors with role and profile URL, word count and reading time.
• Full article text (optional): the article body as plain paragraphs.
• Automatic pagination until your limit or the end of the feed.
• No duplicates within a category or search, and runs stop at your maximum charge.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Paste Reuters category URLs and/or type search keywords.
2. Set Max Items per category and per search (default 100) and, if you need it, turn on Include full article text.
3. Run the scraper and download the results, or pull them through the API.

⚙️ Input

Field	Type	Default	What it does
categoryUrls	array of strings	–	Reuters category page URLs, e.g. https://www.reuters.com/world/. A section path such as /business/ works too; article links are skipped. With an empty input, the Artificial Intelligence category is used.

maxItems	integer	100	Maximum number of articles per category and per search.

kicker is the section label Reuters prints above the headline; categories lists the section and sub-section. tickers are Reuters instrument codes (RICs) of the companies the article covers; it is empty for articles that tag none. categoryUrl or searchQuery tells you which input found the row. content appears only when Include full article text is on.

❓ FAQ

Does Reuters have an official news API? Reuters sells its news to businesses through licensed feeds that need a contract. This Actor needs no key or account and returns the public article data any reader sees on reuters.com, as structured rows.

Do I need a Reuters account? No.

Can I get the full article text? Yes, turn on Include full article text. The body comes as plain paragraphs in content. Graphics and interactive pages have no article text: their row is still saved, with content set to null.

Why are tickers empty for some articles? Reuters only tags articles that are about listed companies. Politics, sports or world news usually has none.

How far back can I go? As far as Reuters lists. A search returns up to the 10,000 newest matching articles per keyword (nvidia earnings has about 1,900, back to 2020). Category feeds go deeper: World pages past 10,000 articles, Artificial Intelligence holds about 840, back to mid-2024. Set Max Items to how many you need per category or search; when Reuters has fewer, the run's status says so.

How do I get Reuters news for one company? Search for the company name (for example nvidia) and filter the rows on tickers.
