Features
What the Google News Scraper & API ($1/1k) Extracts
Direct Publisher URLs
Automatically resolves Google News links into clean, canonical external publisher URLs (url, publisherDomain, publisherUrl, publisherLogo).
Optional Full-Article RAG Mode
Visits publicly accessible publisher pages to extract clean plain-text body paragraphs (articleText), wordCount, author, high-resolution og:image, and ISO publication timestamps (publishedDateIso). (Note: Subscription-paywalled or bot-gated publisher domains still return complete Google News headline, snippet, publisher, timestamp, and direct URL metadata.)
Keyword Search & 9 Curated Topic Feeds
Search any list of keywords, company tickers, or executive names (queries), or pull live curated sections (TOP_HEADLINES, WORLD, NATION, BUSINESS, TECHNOLOGY, ENTERTAINMENT, SPORTS, SCIENCE, HEALTH).
100% Server-Side Filtering
Recency (timeRange): Past hour (1h), 24 hours (24h), 7 days (7d), 30 days (30d), or past year (1y).
