Google News Search

Export fresh Google News search results as clean, source-linked rows for media monitoring, competitive intelligence, PR research, alerts, content discovery, and AI-agent pipelines.

This Actor uses Google News's public RSS search feeds. It is lightweight, needs no browser or API key, and gives every query an explicit result ceiling.

What you get

Each article becomes one dataset item with:

• original search query
• headline
• Google News URL
• publisher name and homepage
• direct publisher URL when optional resolution succeeds
• publication timestamp
• feed description
• market, language, and scrape timestamp

Input example

{
  "queries": ["artificial intelligence startups", "site:techcrunch.com robotics when:7d"],
  "countryCode": "US",
  "languageCode": "en",
  "maxArticlesPerQuery": 50,
  "publishedSince": "",
  "resolvePublisherUrls": false
}

Standard Google News query operators can narrow sources and dates. maxArticlesPerQuery is a hard output and price ceiling.

Output example

{
  "query": "artificial intelligence startups",
  "title": "Example AI funding headline",
  "googleNewsUrl": "https://news.google.com/rss/articles/...",
  "publisherUrl": null,
  "publisher": "Example News",
  "publisherHomepage": "https://example.com",
  "publishedAt": "2026-08-30T12:00:00.000Z"
}

Automation and AI agents

Use the API, OpenAPI, MCP, Python, JavaScript, CLI, webhook, and scheduling examples in the Actor's API tab. The dataset works directly with Sheets, Slack alerts, databases, RAG ingestion, and brand-monitoring workflows.

Important notes

Google News controls ranking, availability, and feed contents. A Google News result can disappear or change. The optional direct-URL resolver is best effort; googleNewsUrl remains the durable source link when a publisher redirect is not exposed. Respect publisher rights and applicable terms when retrieving or reusing article content—the Actor exports feed metadata, not full article bodies.
