Scrape news search results from Baidu (China's #1 search engine). Extracts article titles, snippets, sources, authors, publication dates, and thumbnails. Supports pagination, source filters, and Chinese date parsing.

What this Actor collects

Each dataset item represents one Baidu News result, with its article URL, publisher, publication time, snippet, thumbnail, and search context when exposed.

  • Uses the input limits and filters below to control the crawl.
  • Stores source-backed fields defined by the 50-field dataset schema.
  • Omits optional fields when the source does not expose a value instead of writing nulls or fabricated placeholders.

Use cases

  • News monitoring
  • Publisher and topic research
  • Article-feed enrichment
