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 and not Videos-tab listings. 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.
