Google News Scraper: Articles with Real Publisher URLs

Search Google News for any keyword, or collect whole topic sections, and get a clean table of articles: title, publisher, publication time and the article's real URL on the publisher's site, not the news.google.com redirect link.

Works in 36 country and language editions, with time filters from the last hour to the last year. No login, no browser, no proxy needed.

You pay only per article returned. No start fee, and searches that find nothing cost nothing.

What you get for each article

Field	What it is
title	Headline, with the " - Publisher" suffix removed
source, sourceUrl	Publisher name and home page
publishedAt	Publication time in standard format (UTC)
articleUrl	The article's own address, for example https://www.reuters.com/...
googleNewsUrl	The Google News link, in case you need it
query or topic	Which search or section found it
edition, position	Edition searched, and rank in the results

Input

{
  "queries": ["electric vehicles", "\"interest rates\" site:reuters.com"],
  "topics": ["BUSINESS"],
  "edition": "US:en",
  "timeRange": "1d",
  "maxArticlesPerQuery": 100,
  "resolveUrls": true
}

• Search terms work as in Google News: "exact phrase", OR, -exclude and site:example.com.
• Topics: Top stories, World, Your country, Business, Technology, Entertainment, Sports, Science, Health.
• Published within: last hour, 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or year.
• Articles found by more than one search are returned once.

Typical uses

• Media and brand monitoring: run hourly with "Last hour" for your company, product or competitors.
• Market and investment research: collect coverage of a sector, a ticker or a topic over time.
• AI and data pipelines: feed fresh, deduplicated news links into summarisers, RAG or sentiment models; the real URLs can be fetched directly.
• PR reporting: count who covered a story and when.

Pricing

$2.00 per 1,000 articles ($0.002 each), including the real publisher URL.

100 articles cost $0.20. An hourly brand alert that finds 10 new articles a day costs about $0.60 a month.

Each run also has Apify's standard start charge of $0.00005. Apify's paid plans get 10% to 30% off; the Pricing tab shows yours. The free plan's $5 monthly credit covers 2,500 articles.

Limits

• Google News returns at most 100 articles per search. For more, split a topic into narrower searches or shorter time windows.
• The article text is not included. Combine with a page-text tool if you need it.
• Rarely Google does not resolve a link; then articleUrl is empty and the Google News link is still given.

Questions

Can I run it on a schedule?

Yes. Save your input as a task and add an Apify schedule, for example every hour with "Last hour".

How do I get the results into Excel or Google Sheets?

Download any run's results as Excel, CSV or JSON from the Output tab, or connect Apify to Make, Zapier, n8n or Google Sheets.

Can I call it from my own code or an AI agent?

Yes. The API tab has ready-made code for Python, JavaScript and cURL, and the tool works with Apify's MCP server for AI agents.
