Overview

Monitor the news at scale. Give the Actor any set of search keywords or topic sections and it returns fresh Google News articles — headline, source, publish time, link and snippet — for any language and country edition. Powered by Google News's public RSS feeds, so no login and no API key.

Great for media monitoring, brand/competitor tracking, PR, research datasets, and news alerting. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel.

Google News Scraper input — search queries, topic sections and language/country edition in the Apify Console

Features

📰 Keyword & topic feeds — pull articles by search term or by section (Technology, Business, Sports…).
🌍 Any edition — set the language/country pair to target any Google News edition.
🧹 Clean headlines — Google's trailing " - Source" is stripped and the publisher is captured separately.
🔁 De-duplicated — overlapping queries and topics are merged within a run.
🎚️ Volume control — maxItemsPerFeed and maxConcurrency tune throughput and size.

FAQ

Do I need an account or API key? No. The Actor pulls from Google News's public RSS feeds, so it needs no login, API key, or Google account.

How many articles can I get per run? Each individual Google News feed returns up to ~100 of the most relevant recent items. Combine several queries, topics, and country editions to widen coverage; maxItemsPerFeed caps how many are kept per feed (0 = all).

Is scraping Google News legal? The Actor collects only publicly available headline metadata (title, source, publish time, link, snippet). Use it responsibly and in line with Google's terms; the link opens the original publisher's page.

What's the output format? A JSON dataset with one row per article, de-duplicated across overlapping queries and topics within a run. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Apify Console or API.

Can I filter or limit results? Yes. Scope results with queries, topics (sections like TECHNOLOGY or BUSINESS), language/country editions, and maxItemsPerFeed.

Can I connect this Actor to other apps? The Google News Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. It works with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Drive and many more, plus the Apify API, JavaScript/Python clients and MCP. Or use webhooks to trigger an action whenever a run finishes.
