Google News Scraper
Keywords, topics and top stories from any Google News edition — with real article URLs.
Pay per result on Apify. Runs that return nothing cost nothing; Apify's free plan includes $5 of usage a month.
Type search queries (Google's operators like “exact phrase”, site:reuters.com and when:7d work), pick sections such as Technology or Business, or read the front page of any country and language edition. Every article comes with the publisher's real URL, the outlet, the publication time and the related coverage Google groups with it.
Results are deduplicated across all queries and topics of a run and delivered as JSON, CSV or Excel, or through the Apify API and integrations — ready for a monitoring dashboard or an LLM digest.
What you get
- • Search, sections and top stories in one run; any of Google's ~40 languages and 100+ editions
- • Publisher URLs decoded from Google's redirect links (with a flag when Google refuses)
- • Related coverage per story: which other outlets wrote about it
- • Deduplicated across feeds; nothing to log in to
- • Monitored daily; fixed within 24 hours when Google changes its feeds
Typical uses
- • Brand and competitor monitoring with alerts to Slack or email
- • Daily news digests summarised by an LLM
- • Media lists: which outlets cover a topic in which country
- • Feeding article URLs into content or research pipelines
