Google News Scraper & Monitor – Only New Articles

Get Google News articles for any search or topic, in any country and language: headline, source, publish time, the Google News link and the real article URL on the publisher's site. Turn on monitor mode and schedule the Actor (hourly or daily) to get only the articles you have not seen yet, ready for a spreadsheet, Slack alert, CRM or AI agent. Built for PR and brand monitoring, competitor and market news, investors and traders, journalists and researchers.

What you get

• One row per article: title, source name and home page, publish time (ISO, UTC), position in Google News, the Google News link and the publisher URL.
• Search queries with Google News operators: "exact phrase", -exclude, site:reuters.com, intitle:merger, OR.
• Topic headlines: top stories, world, nation, business, technology, entertainment, sports, science, health.
• Any edition: US:en, GB:en, IN:en, DE:de, FR:fr, BR:pt-419, JP:ja, NO:no and every other Google News edition.
• Time filter: past hour, 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days.
• Monitor mode (onlyNew): returns only articles that earlier runs did not return, so a scheduled run gives you a clean stream of new articles and you pay only for those.

Monitor mode, step by step

1. Enter your queries (for example your brand, competitors and market terms) and set onlyNew to on.
2. Save it as a task and add a schedule, for example every hour.
3. Each run returns only new articles. Connect the dataset to Slack, email, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make or a webhook to get alerts.

Monitor mode remembers article ids per query, edition and time range in a key-value store named google-news-monitor-seen in your own Apify account (newest 3,000 per query). Delete that store to start fresh.

Pricing

Pay per event, no subscription:

• $2 per 1,000 articles ($0.002 each) from 30 October 2026; $1 per 1,000 until then. Publisher URL resolving is included.
• $0.001 per run start.

Examples (from 30 October 2026): 100 articles cost $0.201. An hourly monitor that finds 20 new articles a day costs about $1.90 a month.

You can cap the cost of a run with the maximum charge setting; the Actor stops when the budget is used. Error rows are never charged.

Good to know

• In our test runs from Apify's servers, 100 % of articles came back with the publisher URL.

• The data comes from Google News' public RSS feeds. Google returns at most about 100 articles per query or topic; use narrower queries or shorter time ranges for more coverage.

• url is null when Google does not hand out the publisher link for an article; google_news_url always works and redirects to the article.

• Topic headlines are always current; timeRange applies to search queries.

• No login, cookies or personal data. Article text is not copied; you get the headline, metadata and links.
