Google News Scraper Pro: real article URLs, day-by-day dates, source filters

Pull every Google News article for any keyword, site: search or headline topic, with the real publisher article URL decoded (not the useless news.google.com/rss/articles/... redirect), the publisher, its domain and the exact publish time. Set a date range and the actor searches one day at a time, so you get up to 100 articles per day instead of Google's 100-per-search ceiling.

$2.50 per 1,000 articles, real URLs included. Rows your filters remove are never billed.

FAQ

Why do other scrapers stop at about 100 articles? Google News returns at most 100 results per search. This actor splits your date range into single days and searches each one, so a 30-day range can return up to 3,000 articles per query.

What is URL decoding? Google News wraps every link in an encoded redirect. This actor decodes it to the publisher's own URL so the link works in spreadsheets, CRMs and LLM tools. If a link cannot be decoded, articleUrl is null and googleNewsUrl is kept.

Does it scrape the full article text? No, it returns article metadata and the real URL. Pair it with a content extractor for full text.

Do I need a proxy? No. It connects directly and switches to a residential proxy on its own only if Google blocks the feed.

Can I schedule it? Yes. Use a short timeRange such as 1d with an Apify schedule for a daily news feed, duplicates are removed within each run.
