The Google News API turns any keyword into structured Google News data: article titles, sources, links, snippets, and publication dates, returned as clean JSON. Use it for news monitoring, market research, and content aggregation, or wire it into an AI agent for live headlines. No Google Cloud key, no quotas, and no browser to babysit.

What you can control

Search by keyword with optional location, language, and Google domain targeting. Turn on safe search, exclude auto-corrected queries, and filter duplicate content. Google News returns about 10 articles per page; set max_pages to pull more, or 0 to page through everything available. Results come back as JSON, CSV, or Excel. Pricing is pay as you go: a small setup fee plus a per-page charge, with no subscription.

Works with MCP

The Actor runs over the hosted Apify MCP server, so AI clients like Claude and Cursor can call it as a tool. Ask "what are today's headlines about AI regulation, with sources and links?" and the agent returns structured rows, no scraping code. See all runnable examples on the Google News API examples page.
