FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the Google News API.

What data does the Google News Scraper API return?

Each endpoint returns an articles array. Every article includes a title, destination link, and source name. When Google News supplies the information, an article can also include a snippet, publication time, thumbnail, source URL, source icon, and related stories. Search responses also return the query, while topic responses return the selected topic; all responses include their language and country context.

What is the difference between Search Google News, News by Topic, and Trending News?

Search Google News requires a free-text q value and returns articles related to that query. News by Topic requires one of seven predefined topic values and returns the corresponding category feed. Trending News requires neither a query nor a topic and returns stories currently surfaced in the Google News trending feed for the requested country and language.

Which topic categories are supported?

The News by Topic endpoint accepts exactly seven documented values: WORLD , BUSINESS , TECHNOLOGY , ENTERTAINMENT , SPORTS , SCIENCE , and HEALTH . The value must be sent through the topic parameter. For a narrower or different subject, use Search Google News with a free-text query.

Can I localize Google News results by country and language?

Yes. All three endpoints accept hl for language and gl for country. The defaults are en and US . These values select the Google News feed context for the request; they do not guarantee that every returned publisher or story originates in that country or uses only that language.

How many articles can I request, and does the API support pagination or date filters?

Use max_results to request between 1 and 100 articles; the default is 10. The endpoint can return fewer articles when the selected feed does not contain the requested number. The current Google News documentation does not expose a pagination token, page number, date-range filter, or sort parameter for these three endpoints.

How much does the Google News Scraper API cost?

Search Google News, News by Topic, and Trending News each cost 7 credits per successful request, with no per-article charge. Failed requests do not consume credits, and the exact charge is returned in the X-Credits-Used response header. New accounts receive 1,000 free credits, which cover 142 successful Google News requests.
