Google News Scraper

Scrape Google News articles by keyword, topic, or top headlines — get titles, real publisher URLs, source names, snippets, and publish dates. No login, no API key, no proxies required.

What you get

For each article, the scraper returns:

• Title and real article URL — Google News links are redirect URLs; the scraper resolves them to the publisher's actual page (urlResolved tells you when it succeeded)
• Source name and source website (e.g. "Reuters", https://www.reuters.com)
• Publish date in clean ISO 8601 format — ready for sorting and filtering
• Snippet — plain-text summary extracted from the feed
• Related coverage — when Google bundles related stories, you get an array of {title, sourceName} for each related article
• The query or topic each article came from, so you can run many searches in one go and keep results organized
• Results are deduplicated by URL across all queries — one clean row per article
• Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets directly from the Apify console

Use cases

• News monitoring — track breaking coverage of any keyword, company, or person and pipe it into alerts or dashboards
• Brand mention tracking — see every outlet writing about your brand (or a client's), with source names and timestamps
• Trend detection — schedule recurring runs on topic feeds (TECHNOLOGY, BUSINESS, SCIENCE …) and spot emerging stories early
• AI / RAG news ingestion — feed fresh, structured news articles with clean URLs and ISO dates into LLM pipelines and vector stores
• Competitive intelligence — combine site: operators and keyword queries to monitor competitors' press coverage and announcements

How to use

1. Enter one or more Search queries — plain keywords or Google operators:
   • "artificial intelligence" — exact phrase
   • tesla when:7d — only articles from the last 7 days
   • site:reuters.com openai — only articles from a specific outlet
2. And/or pick Topics: WORLD, NATION, BUSINESS, TECHNOLOGY, ENTERTAINMENT, SCIENCE, SPORTS, HEALTH
3. Leave both empty to scrape the top headlines for your chosen country and language
4. Set Language (e.g. en, de, pt-BR) and Country (e.g. US, GB, AU) to pick the Google News edition
5. Set Max Items (0 = everything available; each feed returns up to ~100 articles)
6. Run the actor — results appear in the Dataset tab, one article per row

Tip: keep Resolve real article URLs enabled to get publisher URLs instead of news.google.com redirect links. Disable it for faster runs when the redirect URLs are good enough.
