Region and language for news search

If enabled, decodes Google News URLs to get the original article URLs. Note: This will significantly slow down the scraping process as each URL needs to be decoded individually.

Overview

Extract news articles from Google News using keywords, predefined topics, or custom section URLs. Delivers article titles, sources, publication dates, and direct links for media monitoring or content analysis.

This tool provides a structured way to gather news articles from Google News. It's designed for public relations professionals, marketers, researchers, and anyone needing to track media coverage without manual searching. You can target articles in three ways: by providing a list of search keywords (with support for Google's search operators like `"exact match"` or `-exclude`), by selecting from standard Google News topics like 'Business' or 'Technology', or by supplying specific URLs for niche topics or regional sections. Key settings allow you to control the scope of the data collection. You can set a maximum number of articles to retrieve per target, filter keyword searches by time period (from the last hour to the last year), and specify the region and language for the results. For deeper analysis, you can enable options to decode the Google News link to get the final article URL, extract the article's meta description, or fetch its primary image. Note that these deeper extraction options provide more data but will slow down the collection process. The output is a clean, organized dataset containing the article's title, the name of the publisher, the publication date and time, a direct URL, and if requested, the article's description and main image URL.
