Searches Qwant News through the same first-party JSON endpoint used by Qwant's News tab. The Actor fetches the public News response from the loaded Qwant page session, preserves ranked article metadata, and paginates up to the requested item limit. It does not use another search provider or solve verification challenges.

Input

FieldDescriptionDefault
queryRequired news-search phrase.—
maxItemsMaximum number of article rows; allowed range is 1–500.10
maxRequestRetriesRetries for failed requests; allowed range is 0–5.2
localeQwant locale.en_us
proxyConfigurationProxy settings. Qwant availability can vary by region; the form recommends Apify Residential.Apify Proxy

The complete input schema, including types, defaults, and limits, is in .actor/input_schema.json.

Example:

{
"query": "climate change",
"maxItems": 10,
"maxRequestRetries": 2,
"locale": "en_us",
"proxyConfiguration": {
"useApifyProxy": true,
"apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
}
}

Dataset

Article records include recordType, retrievalMethod, and retrievedAt plus the available headline, article URL, publisher, snippet, publication date, thumbnail, category, and search provenance. Fields absent from Qwant's response are omitted. Results are ranked by API order; positions remain global across pages.

The full dataset field schema is in .actor/dataset_schema.json.

The OUTPUT key-value record reports completed, partial, no-results, blocked, or failed, along with page and record counts. A verified empty response (total: 0) succeeds with no dataset rows. Access denials, DataDome challenges, malformed responses, and network errors remain distinct from valid empty results.

The run summary is defined in .actor/key_value_store_schema.json.

Availability

Qwant availability can vary by region. The checked-in input uses an Apify Residential proxy with France selected; the Actor does not override the caller's proxy configuration. If Qwant returns an access challenge, the Actor records a bounded failure summary and stops without attempting to solve it.
