Google News Scraper

When to use it

Use this for a news desk or alerting pipeline: one query, a list of current articles with source and time.

Versus the sibling Actors

News rows are articles, not generic organic results. For web rank tracking stay on Google Search Scraper.

Example input

{
  "queries": [
    "interest rate decision"
  ],
  "maxResults": 10
}

Example output

{
  "query": "interest rate decision",
  "title": "Fed holds rates",
  "source": "Reuters",
  "url": "https://www.reuters.com/example"
}

MCP pin

Agents call this through Apify MCP. Running it needs an Apify token.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=datacortex/google-news-scraper"
    }
  }
}

Pricing

$0.50 per 1,000 results + $0.001 per run. Confirm on the Apify pricing tab if you are budgeting a large run.

Limitations

• Publish times are what Google News shows, not a full-text crawl of the article.
• Paywalled publishers still appear as headlines; the Actor does not fetch the body.
