Common questions
Does Google News have an official API? +
Google shut down the Google News API in 2013. The only official alternative is the Programmable Search Engine, which has limited news coverage. This scraper accesses Google News directly via the RSS feed and web interface.
What data does each article record include? +
Article title, publisher name, article URL, publication date and time, article snippet, and image URL where available. All returned as structured JSON.
Can I search by company name or stock ticker? +
Yes. Search queries work the same as Google News search: company names, stock tickers, product names, executive names, or any keyword. Use quotes for exact phrases.
How fresh is the data? +
Google News indexes articles within minutes of publication. This scraper returns whatever Google News is currently showing, so recency matches what you would see in the browser.
Can I monitor competitor mentions or brand sentiment? +
Yes. Run the scraper on a schedule via Apify's scheduler (hourly or daily) to track new articles about a company, product, or keyword over time. Combine with an LLM for sentiment analysis.
