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 ## Google News Scraper (No Login) Track any topic, brand, ticker, or person on Google News and get one clean row per article. No login, no API key, no browser. Give it search terms, the Actor returns the matching headlines with source and publish date. ### What you get One row per article, with: - `title` (headline, with the trailing source removed) - `source`, `sourceUrl` - `url` (link to the article) - `publishedAt`, `publishedAtIso` - `guid`, `query`, `language`, `country`, `scrapedAt` ### Input - `queries` (one or more terms; each runs as its own feed, up to ~100 articles) - `language` (e.g. `en-US`, `en-GB`, `es-ES`, `fr-FR`, `de-DE`) - `country` (e.g. `US`, `GB`, `CA`, `AU`, `IN`, `DE`) - `when` (optional recency window, e.g. `1h`, `12h`, `1d`, `7d`) - `maxPerQuery`, `maxArticles` ### Example input ```json { "queries": ["tesla", "openai"], "language": "en-US", "country": "US", "when": "7d", "maxArticles": 200 } ```` Monitor a brand in the UK over the last day: ```json { "queries": ["my brand name"], "language": "en-GB", "country": "GB", "when": "1d" } ``` ### Uses - Brand and competitor monitoring - PR and media tracking - Market and ticker news for finance workflows - Feeding a news dashboard or alert ### Pricing Pay per row. The first 25 rows of every run are free so you can validate output before you scale up. You only pay for the articles you keep. ### Notes - Data comes from Google News public RSS feeds, so coverage matches Google News. - Proxy is off by default because the feeds are a tolerant public source; supply a proxy only if you run very large pulls and hit rate limits. - This Actor reads only public data and never logs in. # Actor input Schema ## `queries` (type: `array`): One or more topics, brands, tickers, or people to search Google News for. Each runs as its own feed (up to ~100 articles). ## `language` (type: `string`): Google News language code, e.g. en-US, en-GB, es-ES, fr-FR, de-DE. ## `country` (type: `string`): Two letter country code, e.g. US, GB, CA, AU, IN, DE. ## `when` (type: `string`): Optional. Only return articles from the last N hours or days, e.g. 1h, 12h, 1d, 7d. Leave empty for the default feed. ## `maxPerQuery` (type: `integer`): Cap on articles returned per search term (Google News serves up to about 100). ## `maxArticles` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of article rows to return across all queries. First 25 rows per run are free. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional. The RSS feeds are a tolerant public source, so proxy is off by default. Supply one only if you run very large pulls and hit rate limits. ## Actor input object example ```json { "queries": [ "tesla" ], "language": "en-US", "country": "US", "maxPerQuery": 100, "maxArticles": 200 } ``` # 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": [ "tesla" ], "language": "en-US", "country": "US", "maxPerQuery": 100, "maxArticles": 200 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("scrapemint/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 📖?
