Scrape Google News articles by keyword in real-time. Get headlines, full article text, images, and author information — all structured and ready to use. No proxy needed.

What does Google News Scraper do?

This actor searches Google News for your keywords and returns structured article data. It resolves the actual article URLs (not Google redirect links), and can optionally extract the full article text and images from each page.

You can run multiple search queries in a single run. Results are automatically deduplicated across queries, so you never get the same article twice.

What data can you extract?

Use cases

• Media monitoring — Track news coverage of your brand, competitors, or industry topics across thousands of sources
• Market research — Collect news about specific markets, companies, or trends for analysis
• Content aggregation — Build news feeds or newsletters from curated topics and sources
• Sentiment analysis — Feed article text into NLP pipelines to gauge public sentiment on any topic
• Academic research — Gather news datasets filtered by date, region, and topic for studies
• AI/LLM training data — Extract full article text at scale for language model fine-tuning

How to use it

1. Add your search queries — Enter one or more keywords (e.g. "artificial intelligence", "climate change")
2. Set your filters — Choose date range, language, country, or restrict to a specific site
3. Choose what to extract — Enable full-text extraction and/or image extraction if needed
4. Run the actor — Results appear in the dataset, ready to download as JSON, CSV, or Excel
