How to Use

Search by keyword

Enter one or more search queries in the Search Queries field:

artificial intelligence
Tesla earnings
climate change 2026

Each query returns up to ~100 of the latest matching articles from Google News.

Subscribe to a topic page

Paste a Google News topic URL into Topic Page URLs. These are the category pages you see when browsing Google News, for example:

https://news.google.com/topics/CAAqJggKIiBDQkFTRWdvSUwyMHZNRGRqTVhZU0FtVnVHZ0pWVXlnQVAB

Decode Real Article URLs

By default, the scraper resolves every Google News link to the real publisher URL (e.g. https://www.nytimes.com/... instead of a Google redirect). Turn off Decode Real Article URLs if you only need titles, sources, and dates and want the fastest possible run.

Language and country

By default the scraper returns English (US) results. Change Language (hl) and Country (gl) for local news in other languages:

• Germany: hl=de, gl=DE
• France: hl=fr, gl=FR
• Japan: hl=ja, gl=JP
• Brazil: hl=pt-BR, gl=BR
• UK: hl=en-GB, gl=GB

Frequently Asked Questions

How many articles can I get per query? Google News returns up to ~100 articles per search query. For topic pages, results vary by topic activity.

How current is the data? Articles are typically from the last 24–72 hours, depending on the topic. Google News indexes new articles continuously.

Can I get articles in other languages? Yes. Set the hl (language) and gl (country) fields. For example, hl=de, gl=DE returns German news.

What does "real article URL" mean? Google News links are redirect URLs. This scraper resolves each one to the actual article URL on the publisher's website (e.g. https://www.bbc.com/news/...). About 80–90% of articles decode successfully.

Can I get the full article text? The scraper returns the article URL and a snippet where available. Full text extraction depends on the publisher and is not included.
