FAQ
Why Google News RSS vs. regular scraping?
RSS is stable, structured, and officially supported. DOM scraping of news.google.com breaks with every layout change.
Can I get full article content?
No — only title, link, source, description. Use article-content-extractor on each link for full text.
How many queries can I run?
Multiple queries per run, but Google may rate-limit aggressive polling. 3-5 queries per run recommended.
Are Google News results personalized?
No — RSS endpoint returns un-personalized results based on lang+country only.
