  • If not: a maintained Apify Actor with clear input/output schema
  • Export formats (JSON/CSV) and webhook/API hooks for automation
  • Transparent usage pricing and run logs

FAQ

Straight answers

Is this an official Google News API?

No — it is EasyAPI’s Apify Actor that scrapes public Google News results into structured rows. If Google offers an official API that fits your use case, prefer that for production compliance needs.

How do I call it like an API?

Run the Actor via the Apify API or console, pass keyword/country/language input, then fetch the dataset. You can schedule runs and push results with webhooks.

Where is the tool landing?

See Google News Scraper on easyapi.tools/google-news-scraper/ and the live Actor on Apify for schema and pricing.

What fields does Google News Scraper return?

Headline, source/publisher, publish time and article URL for matching Google News hits. Confirm the live schema on the Apify Actor page — shapes can evolve with the source.

Google News vs Trends vs Images — which Actor?

News returns article hits (title/source/URL). Trends returns interest-over-time and rising queries. Images returns image URLs and source pages. Use News for media digests; Trends for demand signals; Images for creative research.
