Google News Scraper – Real Article URLs, Images and Related Coverage

Turn Google News into clean, structured data. Search by keyword, follow a topic such as Technology or Business, or pull the front page of any of 50+ country and language editions. Every article comes back with the headline, the publisher and its website, the real article URL on the publisher's site (not the news.google.com redirect), the exact publish time in ISO format, a preview image, a short description, and, for clustered stories, the other outlets covering the same event.

Why this one

• Publisher links, not redirects. Google News feeds only give you encoded Google links. This scraper resolves them to the article's own URL by default, in fast batches, so you can open, deduplicate or crawl the articles directly.
• Beyond 100 results. Google caps a search at about 100 articles. Ask for more and keyword searches are split into one-day windows, going further back until your limit is reached.
• Related coverage. Top stories and topic sections group several outlets under one story. You get them all, each with its own resolved link.
• About half the price of the most used Google News scrapers.

What people use it for

• Media monitoring and PR – track every mention of a brand, product, person or competitor.
• Market and investment research – follow tickers, sectors and events with timestamps you can chart.
• AI and LLM pipelines – feed fresh, source-attributed headlines and URLs into summarisers, RAG indexes and agents.
• SEO and content teams – see which outlets rank in Google News for your topics.
• Academic and policy research – build dated news datasets by country and language.

How to use it

1. Add search keywords (Google News operators work: -word, "exact phrase", OR, site:reuters.com, intitle:), pick topics, or paste Google News URLs of topic or publication pages.
2. Choose the region and language edition, for example United States (English), Germany (German) or Brazil (Portuguese).
3. Set a time period (last hour to last year) or exact from/to dates.
4. Set max articles per keyword or topic.
5. Run, then export JSON, CSV or Excel, or read the dataset through the API. Schedule it to get a feed of new articles every hour or day.

image, description and author come from the article page itself. Some publishers refuse automated visits; for those articles these fields are null, while the headline, publisher, time and link are always filled. Turn off Add image and description for the fastest runs.

FAQ

How fresh is the data? Articles are read live from Google News at run time. Use the "Last hour" period and a schedule for near real-time monitoring.

Why do some articles have no image? The image and description are read from the publisher's page, and a few large publishers block automated visits. Everything Google News itself shows is always present.

Can I get full article text? Not in this scraper. Feed the resolved url values into a web page content extractor.

Is it legal? It collects publicly available headlines and links. You are responsible for how you use the data, including copyright, the publishers' terms and Google's terms.
