💰$0.70/1K result💰 Fast Google News scraper for keywords, topics, publications, and URLs. Get titles, dates, publishers, domains, thumbnails, Google News IDs, optional real publisher URLs, locale presets, filters, dedupe, ticker/entity signals, and archives up to 50K results.
Added API-compatible input aliases for common Google News actor inputs.
Added RSS descriptions, source domains, publisher URL fields, Google News URL fields, source positions, and CSV-friendly output columns.
Added include/exclude publisher domain filters.
Added proxyMode with direct-first networking and Apify Proxy fallback.
Hid advanced proxy and low-level Google parameters from the visual input UI while keeping API compatibility.
Added support for Apify's ACTOR_MAX_PAID_DATASET_ITEMS limit to protect paid runs from exceeding user spending limits.
Improved large-volume runs by processing feed tasks in bounded batches instead of scheduling every planned feed at once.
Made large archive output deterministic by pushing each prepared batch in feed-plan order instead of async completion order.
Improved thumbnail coverage by reading RSS media thumbnails and article-link based Google News HTML mappings.
Simplified spending-cap logging: Apify's paid dataset item limit is treated as an internal safety cap and is only logged when it actually limits the requested output.
Reworked the visual input schema into a simpler emoji-guided flow and moved confusing advanced caps, locale overrides, deduplication, retries, and concurrency to API-only hidden fields.
Normalized Google News locale parameters for regional languages such as Spanish Latin America, Portuguese Brazil/Portugal, and Chinese Simplified/Traditional.
Added a separate fail-fast retry budget for optional Google News HTML image-index requests so slow thumbnails do not hold up RSS feeds.
Optimized publisher URL decoding to try the lighter original RSS article page before falling back to heavier canonical article pages.
Updated public Store positioning to remove old full-content claims and describe the current RSS, thumbnail, real-URL, locale, filter, and archive feature set accurately.
Rewrote the README as customer-facing Store documentation with clearer use cases, output expectations, setup steps, pricing notes, and limitations.
Added customer-friendly emoji markers throughout the README to improve Store-page scanning.
Fixed expanded date-range search so daily windows use an exclusive next-day before: boundary.
Reworked README, actor description, input schema, and dataset schema for clearer Store presentation.
