Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README undefined # Actor input Schema ## `queries` (type: `array`): Keywords to search, topic names (world/nation/business/technology/entertainment/sports/science/health), or domain names for site news. ## `searchType` (type: `string`): How to interpret the query. ## `resultsWanted` (type: `integer`): Max articles per query (Google News RSS returns up to 100 per query). ## `when` (type: `string`): Filter by time range. ## `language` (type: `string`): Results language (en, es, fr, de, pt, it, ja, ko, zh, ar, etc.). ## `country` (type: `string`): Country edition (US, GB, AU, CA, IN, DE, FR, etc.). ## `deduplicateUrls` (type: `boolean`): Remove duplicate article URLs across queries. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Google News RSS works without proxy in most regions. ## Actor input object example ```json { "queries": [ "artificial intelligence", "climate change" ], "searchType": "search", "resultsWanted": 50, "when": "", "language": "en", "country": "US", "deduplicateUrls": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "queries": [ "artificial intelligence", "climate change" ], "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("rupom888/google-news-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
