Google News RSS Topic Scraper – news headlines export by keyword or topic

Give it a list of keywords, or standard Google News topics like BUSINESS or TECHNOLOGY, and pick a country and language. You get back one row per article, with the headline, publisher, publisher site, publish time and link.

Each row also records which search or topic matched it and the feed it came from. Turn on De-duplicate across runs and schedule it, and each run saves only headlines you haven't already seen.

Why this one

  • Keywords and topics in one run. Add search keywords, topic sections, or both, and every feed is read in the same run.
  • Your country and language. Set Country code and Language code to read the edition you care about, such as US and en.
  • Only fresh articles. Max article age (hours) drops anything older than the window you set. Use 0 to switch the filter off.
  • Only new headlines on repeat runs. De-duplicate across runs remembers article ids in a named key-value store and skips ones already saved.
  • Clean, structured rows. Each article has a stable id, publisher name and site, and an ISO timestamp.
  • Pay per result. $2.10 per 1,000 results, with no start fee. Runs with no results cost nothing.

Good to know

  • Limits. Each feed saves 1 to 100 articles. The input is bounded to 20 queries and 10 topics.
  • Broad queries get cut off. Google News RSS returns up to about 100 items per feed, so use narrower keywords or more queries.
  • Data source. It reads the public Google News RSS feeds (news.google.com/rss). No login or API key is needed.
  • Links. Article links are Google News links that point to the publishers. Full article text is not copied.
  • Freshness. Feed content, ordering and availability are controlled by Google and may change.
  • Copyright. Respect publisher copyright when you reuse headlines.
  • Not affiliated. This tool isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Google.
