Crypto and blockchain news as clean JSON. Follow any coin, exchange or protocol and get the real publisher URL for every article, optional full body text, and syndication dedupe so one story is one row. Historical archive included. Pay per article, failed runs are free.
**Pay per article. Failed runs and empty runs cost nothing.**
### What you get
Every article comes back with **the publisher's real URL already resolved** — not Google's
encoded `news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMi…` redirect. Measured 2026-08-19: 500 of 500
articles in one run resolved to a real publisher domain.
- `title`, `source`, `publishedAt`, `publisherUrl`, `publisherDomain` — 100% filled
- `articleText`, `author`, `snippet`, `imageUrl` — with `fetchArticleText` on
- `resolveStatus` and `textStatus` on every row, so you always know what you got
### Beyond today's headlines
Google's feed returns at most ~100 articles per query. Set `archiveDays` and this splits the
query into date windows: measured 500 unique articles from 14 days of one query, against 101
from the same query unsharded.
### Full text, billed only when it arrives
With `fetchArticleText` on, a measured 100-article run returned 50 full bodies, 30 blocked
by the publisher, 15 with no article body, 3 paywalled and 2 failed. **You pay for the 50.**
Blocked and paywalled pages cost nothing and are labelled, never guessed.
### Pricing
Per 1,000, tiered by your Apify plan:
| Event | FREE | GOLD | DIAMOND |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| One article (incl. sentiment) | $7.00 | **$3.50** | $3.10 |
| Resolved publisher URL | $0.80 | $0.50 | $0.40 |
| Full article body | $1.80 | $1.40 | $1.00 |
No run-start fee, and every event bills only on success: an unresolved URL and a paywalled
body both cost nothing. Set `maxCostUsd` to cap any run.
### Use it from anywhere
```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/vonsensey~crypto-news-scraper-api/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"maxItems":50}'
```
```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("vonsensey/crypto-news-scraper-api").call(run_input={"maxItems": 100})
for a in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
if a.get("type") == "article":
print(a["publishedAt"], a["source"], a["publisherUrl"])
```
Also available through the Apify integrations for n8n, Make and Zapier — schedule it and you
have a monitoring feed. Feeding a model? `textStatus` tells you which rows have a real body,
so you can filter before embedding.

### Use cases
- **Brand and competitor monitoring.** Track your own name and a rival's in one run and see both in the same dataset.
- **Feed a model or a dashboard.** Clean JSON with the real publisher URL, headline, source and publication time — no scraping of your own required.
- **Build a historical dataset.** Walk a date window to reach far more than the ~100 items a single news query returns.
- **Run it on a schedule.** News is a feed, not a one-off — a daily or hourly run is what turns this into a monitoring system.
### Run it on a schedule
A one-off pull answers a question; a schedule answers it every day without you. Open **Schedules** in the Apify Console, point a cron at this Actor, and the dataset keeps filling on its own — no server, no cron box, no babysitting. Everything here is built to be re-run: you are billed per article delivered, so a scheduled run that finds nothing new costs nothing.
### FAQ
#### Do I get the real article URL or a Google redirect link?
The real publisher URL, resolved for you. Redirect links are useless downstream, which is the single most common complaint about news scrapers.
#### Can I get the full article text, not just the headline?
Yes — full text, author and lead image where the publisher exposes them.
#### How far back can I go?
Far past the ~100-item ceiling a single query returns: the archive Actor in this suite walks the date range window by window.
#### Can I filter by topic or country?
Yes. Query, topic feed, language and country are all inputs, and can be combined in one run.

# Actor input Schema
## `queries` (type: `array`):
Keywords to search Google News for. Supports Google operators: "exact phrase", tesla OR rivian, tesla -musk, intitle:tesla, site:reuters.com. One row is returned per article found.
## `archiveDays` (type: `integer`):
Go back this many days to break Google's 100-article-per-feed ceiling. The query is split into consecutive date windows and each is fetched separately, so 30 days can return thousands of articles instead of 100. Leave at 0 for a single latest-news pull. Applies to search and publisher inputs only.
## `windowDays` (type: `integer`):
Size of each date window when Archive depth is set. 1 gives the deepest coverage (up to ~100 articles per day); raise it for broad topics with fewer daily articles to save requests.
## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):
Hard cap on billable article rows for this run. The run stops as soon as it is reached.
## `maxCostUsd` (type: `string`):
Optional spend ceiling for this run. The run stops cleanly before exceeding it. Leave empty for no ceiling.
## `language` (type: `string`):
Google News interface language, e.g. en, de, fr, ja, sv, pt-BR. Controls which language the articles are returned in.
## `country` (type: `string`):
Two-letter country code for the Google News edition, e.g. US, GB, DE, IN, SE. Controls which regional outlets appear.
## `resolvePublisherUrls` (type: `boolean`):
Turn Google's encoded news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMi... redirect into the real article URL on the publisher's own domain. On by default — this is what makes the output usable.
## `fetchArticleText` (type: `boolean`):
Also fetch each publisher page and extract the full body text, author, image and canonical URL. Slower, and billed as a separate event — but only when text is actually returned. Paywalled and blocked pages cost nothing extra.
## `analyzeSentiment` (type: `boolean`):
Score each article positive / negative / neutral using VADER, the standard lexicon for short news text (it handles negation, so "not doing badly" reads positive). Free - no extra charge. English only: other languages return null rather than a score computed from an English word list.
## `dedupeSyndicated` (type: `boolean`):
One wire story often runs across dozens of outlets. Turn this on to return one row per story, with the other outlets listed in republishedBy — so you pay once for a story instead of forty times.
## `includeDuplicates` (type: `boolean`):
When collapsing syndicated duplicates, still emit the duplicate rows (tagged with duplicateOfId) instead of dropping them. Only applies when the option above is on.
## `topics` (type: `array`):
Google News topic sections: WORLD, NATION, BUSINESS, TECHNOLOGY, ENTERTAINMENT, SPORTS, SCIENCE, HEALTH. Opaque topic IDs from a Google News URL (CAAqJggK...) also work.
## `locations` (type: `array`):
Local news editions by place name, e.g. London, New York, Berlin. Returns the local headlines Google curates for that place.
## `publishers` (type: `array`):
Restrict results to specific outlets. Accepts reuters.com, www.reuters.com or a full URL. Use this to monitor a defined media set.
## `publisherQuery` (type: `string`):
Optional keyword applied to the publisher domains above, e.g. "earnings" to get only earnings coverage from those outlets.
## `includeTopHeadlines` (type: `boolean`):
Add Google News' main front-page headlines for the selected language and country.
## `concurrency` (type: `integer`):
How many requests to run in parallel. The default is tuned for speed without tripping rate limits; lower it only if you see errors.
## `proxy` (type: `object`):
Optional. Google News is reachable without a proxy from Apify, so leaving this off is both faster and cheaper. Enable it only if you need requests to originate from a specific country.
