Google News Scraper

Scrape Google News as clean, structured JSON - search any keyword or read a whole section (top stories, world, business, technology...) and get every article's title, the real publisher URL (not a news.google.com redirect), the source and its website, the publish time in UTC, the article image and the authors. Any language and country edition, time filters, no Google account or proxies to set up.

Features

• Keyword search - Google News results for any query, with Google News operators: "exact phrase", OR, -word, site:reuters.com, intitle:.
• Sections - top stories, world, nation, business, technology, entertainment, sports, science and health, or any topic by its id.
• Real article links - url is the publisher's own page, ready to fetch.
• Any edition - pick the language (en, de, fr, pt-BR...) and country (us, gb, de, in...).
• Time filters - the last hours, days, weeks or months (1h, 1d, 7d, 1m), or an exact date window.
• Clean dates - publishedAt in ISO 8601 UTC.
• Images and authors - the article's image with its size, and the author names Google shows.
• Up to about 100 articles per search and about 250 per section in one go.

Pricing

$1 per 1000 articles (pay per result) - one dataset item is one article. Failed searches and sections are free.

Notes

• Google News answers a search with up to about 100 articles and has no further pages. To go further back, run the same search over consecutive date windows (dateFrom / dateTo).
• Time range and dates filter searches only; sections always show their current stories.
• Metadata only: the scraper returns the article link, not the article text.
