Google News Scraper – From $0.04/1K Headlines

Google News Scraper from $0.04 per 1,000 headlines

Track a brand, a competitor or a topic in Google News. Get one row per article with its headline, publisher, publication date and Google News link. Pay $0.04 per 1,000 headlines through the Server API or $0.10 per 1,000 articles in a spreadsheet export. Choose publisher enrichment when you also need the publisher’s original link, description and lead image.

What does Google News scraping cost?

What you need	USD per 1,000 articles	What you receive
Live headlines via Server	$0.04	Titles, sources, dates, ranks and Google News links as JSON
Batch export, either detail level	$0.10	A dataset you can download as CSV, Excel or JSON
Live enriched articles via Server	$0.10	The same headline fields plus available publisher URLs, descriptions and images

The same article rates apply on all Apify plans. A batch run also has a start charge of $0.00005 per GB of allocated memory, with a one-event minimum. For example, a single default batch run delivering 1,000 articles costs $0.10005. A Server call returning 20 headlines costs $0.0008. Server pricing counts returned articles, with one rate per article. An empty Server search costs $0 in article events.

Export Google News to CSV or Excel

1. Open Input and enter a company name, subject or quoted phrase under Search queries. Add one search per line.
2. Set Max results per query, select a Country edition and Language, and choose a time range such as Past week.
3. Choose Headlines and Google News links for media monitoring. Select Include publisher links, descriptions and images for a richer press clipping.
4. Click Start. Open Dataset → Export and choose CSV, Excel or JSON. For a recurring press review, save your input as a task and set a schedule in Apify.

Try the Google News to CSV public task with two example searches. Replace them with your own keywords.

Which details are included?

Every article has a rank within its search, a title, the original search term and a Google News link. The feed also supplies the publisher, domain and publication date when available. In enriched mode, the scraper tries to resolve the publisher URL and reads its page for a snippet and lead image. Publishers can limit access, so these fields can be empty. The Google News link remains available in both modes. Readers can follow the article links to the full stories on the publisher’s site.

Field	How to use it
rank, position	Order within one query. Both names carry the same value.
title, source, domain, publishedAt	Build a dated press review and group coverage by publisher.
googleNewsUrl	Open the Google News article link in either mode.
url, snippet, image, favicon	Open the original article, preview the story or display the publisher icon, where available.
keyword, query, gl, hl	Keep track of the search and selected edition in bulk exports.

Example searches

• Brand monitoring — Search for "Patagonia" sustainability and select Past week to build a weekly press digest.
• Publisher research — Use site:reuters.com electric vehicles to follow coverage of a sector at one publication.
• International coverage — Compare energia solare in the Italian edition and énergie solaire in the French edition. Run each edition separately so geography and language stay consistent.
• News feeds for dashboards or AI agents — Send one live request per topic. Use the date and source to attribute each story and link readers back to the article.

Search Google News through the live API

Use the Server tab to try POST /scrape. Each request searches one topic and returns up to 100 articles as JSON. The default is 20 headlines. Choose "mode": "enriched" to also visit publisher sites. For many search terms or longer exports, use the Input tab.

curl https://lofomachines--google-news-scraper.apify.actor/scrape \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"renewable energy","maxItems":20,"mode":"headlines","timeRange":"week"}'

Read count and articles in the response. The status is complete for a finished search, empty when Google News has no matches and partial when only part of the requested feed or budget was available. A source outage returns an error when the search cannot be completed. Use GET /health to check readiness.

Frequently asked questions

How fast is a news search? In a cloud test covering ten English-language topics, the headline batch delivered 1,000 results in about four seconds. An already-running Server typically returned 100 headlines in a few seconds in our test. Publisher enrichment takes longer because it opens third-party websites. Input size, available news, publisher response times and cold starts affect latency.

How many articles can I export? Batch supports 1 to 1,000 queries and a cap of 1 to 5,000 articles per query. The cap is a maximum. Google News controls coverage and history. Narrow subjects and short time windows can produce fewer results. Use timeRange for the past hour, day, week, month or year.

How are duplicates handled? Google News links are deduplicated within each search. By default, identical headlines are also removed within that search. A story matching different keywords can appear once for each keyword, so you can measure coverage per topic. Each delivered row counts as an article.

Will existing integrations still work? Batch requests that omit mode still use enrichment. The existing column names and aliases are available, and googleNewsUrl adds a fallback link. The new Server endpoint defaults to headlines.
