Google News Scraper API: Articles, Sources & Dates
Pricing
from $0.90 / 1,000 articles
Google News API and MCP tool to monitor brands and topics: title, URL, publisher, snippet, time and position of every article, 20 countries. Time filter, sort by date, only-new mode for alerts. A NewsAPI and Google Alerts alternative. Pay per article, plus a fee per page checked in only-new mode.
What you would type in Google News, one per line: a brand, a company, a person in the news, a topic. "Exact phrases", -excluded words and OR work. Operators such as site: or intitle: are not supported (those queries are skipped for free). Up to 1,000 queries per run.
Country edition of Google News (results Google shows to readers in that country).
Two-letter language code, e.g. "en" or "fr". Leave empty to use the country's main language (for example German for Switzerland, French for Belgium).
Google News returns up to about 200 articles per search. Each article returned is billed; see Pricing. Large values take longer (about 6 seconds per 10 articles).
Google's time filter. For scheduled monitoring, match it to your schedule ("Past 24 hours" for a daily run) and remove duplicates by URL.
Order of the results. "Most recent first" is best for monitoring.
Also return the articles of Google's "Top stories" carousels (they carry the publisher name). Turn off to get only the main news list.
Return only articles this tool has never delivered to you for the same query, country and language. The first run returns every article and remembers them; later runs (for example a daily schedule) return and bill only new articles.
Name of the key-value store in your Apify account that remembers delivered articles (default "plainrows-news-monitor"). Use a different name per monitoring task to keep separate histories, or a new name to start over. Lowercase letters, digits and hyphens.
