What you get

Each article returns a structured record ready to load into any database, spreadsheet, or analytics pipeline:

• title: the article headline, with the source suffix removed
• source: the publisher name, for example Reuters, BBC, El País
• sourceUrl: the publisher's home domain
• url: the publisher's real article link when resolved, otherwise the Google News link
• googleNewsUrl: the original Google News redirect link
• urlResolved: whether the real publisher link was successfully decoded
• publishedAt: publish date and time in ISO 8601 format
• snippet: short text from the feed entry, when present
• relatedCoverage: in headlines and topic mode, an array of related articles covering the same story, each with title, source and url
• guid: the unique Google News identifier for the article
• language: the language edition used for the request
• country: the country edition used for the request
• observedAt: when this article was last seen by the scraper

The url is resolved to the publisher's real article address when Resolve Real Article URL is enabled. Google News links are opaque redirects, so the actor decodes them into the original publisher link so you can open or crawl the source directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which countries and languages does it cover? Any Google News edition. Set the language code, for example en-US or es-419, and the country code, for example US, MX, GB, ES, BR. The actor reads the matching edition so you get sources and articles relevant to that market.

How many articles can I get per run? A single search, topic or headlines feed returns up to about 100 articles. Use Max Items to cap how many you collect. For broader coverage, run several searches with different queries or time windows.

Can I limit results to recent news? Yes. In search mode add a time operator to the query, for example artificial intelligence when:1h, when:1d or when:7d, to restrict results to the last hour, day or week.

Why is the link sometimes a Google News URL instead of the publisher link? Google News serves redirect links that hide the real article address. The actor decodes them into the publisher link when Resolve Real Article URL is enabled. If a particular link cannot be decoded, the actor keeps the Google News link and sets urlResolved to false, so you never lose the article.

What happens when a field has no data? Missing values are returned as null and are never invented. The snippet field is empty for search items where the feed only carries the headline, and carries the related coverage list for top headlines.
