🚀 Why Use This Actor?

Media intelligence, PR sentiment analysis, and competitor monitoring are critical for businesses, traders, and AI research agents. Building a custom news scraper usually encounters rate limits, captchas, and paywalled redirects.

• ⚡ Real-Time Breaking News: Extracts live news articles published within the last hour, day, week, or month.
• 🎯 Advanced Operators & Time Filters: Filter by time range (1h, 1d, 7d, 30d), language (en, pl, uk, de, fr), and regional country editions.
• 🏷️ Clean Structured Metadata: Extracts article headlines, publisher name, publisher website, canonical news URL, snippet, and ISO publication timestamps.
• 🛡️ 100% Reliable & Browserless: No slow browser rendering or proxy costs. Processes 100+ articles in under 3 seconds.
