Scrape news articles from Google News for any search query. Extract article titles, publisher names, publication dates, and direct article links.

What data do you get?

For each news article, the scraper extracts:

• Article title (cleaned, without source suffix)
• Source/publisher name (e.g., "Reuters", "CNN", "TechCrunch")
• Publisher URL (e.g., "https://www.reuters.com")
• Article URL (direct link to the article)
• Publication date (RFC 2822 format)
• Search query that matched the article

Use with AI Agents (MCP)

Connect this actor to any MCP-compatible AI client — Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, Cursor, VS Code, LangChain, LlamaIndex, or custom agents.

Apify MCP server URL:

Tips

• Each query returns up to ~100 articles from the Google News RSS feed.
• Datacenter proxy works fine for Google News RSS feeds.
• Set country and language to target specific regional news (e.g., DE/de for German news).
• Results are deduplicated across queries by article URL.
• Article URLs are resolved from Google News redirects to direct publisher links when possible.
