Google News Scraper (Original URLs)

Get Google News articles for any search query or topic, in any country and language, as clean structured data. Every article comes with its title, publisher, publication date and the publisher's original URL. Google News only gives you news.google.com redirect links, and this Actor resolves them for you at no extra cost.

Use it for media monitoring, brand and competitor tracking, PR clipping, market research, finance news feeds or as a news source for AI agents and RAG pipelines.

What you get

• Search any query with Google News operators ("exact phrase", site:reuters.com, intitle:, -exclude).
• Topic headlines: Top stories, World, Nation, Business, Technology, Entertainment, Sports, Science, Health.
• Any edition: United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland (German or French), France, India, Mexico, Brazil, Japan and every other country and language Google News supports.
• Time filters: past hour, 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, past year, or an exact date range.
• Original article URLs instead of Google redirects.
• Related coverage where Google News lists other outlets covering the same story.
• De-duplication across queries, topics and editions, so you pay for each article only once.
• Automatic retries with fresh sessions when Google rate-limits. Proxy costs are included in the price.

Pricing

$0.002 per article ($2 per 1,000 articles), proxy included. Duplicates removed by the Actor are not charged, and feeds that fail are not charged. If an original URL cannot be resolved, the article is still delivered with its Google News link. Set a maximum cost per run and the Actor only fetches what fits into it.

Limits

• Google News returns at most about 100 articles per query, topic and edition.
• The Actor reads public Google News feeds only. It does not download article texts behind publisher sites or paywalls.
• Publication dates and publisher names come from Google News as they are.
