Google News Mention Scraper

Google News Mention Scraper pulls structured data from Google News and returns it as a clean dataset you can export as JSON, CSV or Excel. It queries the Google News RSS search and returns one row per matching article with headline, publisher, link, publication date and a text snippet, giving a cheap brand, competitor and PR monitoring feed.

No API key, no login. Click Start and it works with the prefilled input.

What does Google News Mention Scraper do?

It queries Google News and returns one row per record, with only the fields that matter. Runs on the Apify platform, so you get an API endpoint, scheduling, monitoring and integrations (Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, webhooks) without maintaining any infrastructure.

Why use it?

• Google News data without the plumbing: no proxy setup, no pagination code, no scraping maintenance.
• Schedule it to monitor changes daily or weekly and trigger alerts on new records.
• Feed it straight into a spreadsheet, database, or an AI agent via the Apify API or MCP server.
• Runs in seconds and returns a typed dataset that is ready for analysis.

How much does it cost to run?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay per result item pushed to the dataset, and nothing for an empty run. Each run is a few seconds of compute, so typical costs are fractions of a cent per run, and the Apify free tier covers plenty of testing.

Tips and advanced options

• Raise maxResults for a bigger pull; the Actor pages through the source for you.
• Schedule it (e.g. every morning) and combine with a webhook to get only the new records.
• Add the Actor to an AI agent through the Apify MCP server for natural-language queries.

FAQ, disclaimers and support

• Is this legal? It uses publicly available data from Google News. You are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with the source's terms.
• It returned nothing? Enter a brand, product or topic such as "openai" or "solar panels".
• Something broken? Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab. Data sources change and get fixed quickly.
• Need a custom variant (extra fields, a different source, a scheduled report)? Get in touch through the Issues tab.
