FAQ

Is there an official Google News API? No. Google retired the Google News API years ago. Google News Scraper on Apify returns Google News results as data through Apify's API, clients and MCP.

Do I get the full article text? You get the headline, snippet, source, date and URL; pass the URLs to a content crawler for full text.
