Google News Search API
Scrape Google News Search data with one API call. Returns a unified NewsArticleList of the top Google News results for a keyword, right now — headline, source outlet, snippet, thumbnail, article URL, and absolute UTC publish time. Combines Google's main news ranking and the Top Stories carousel into one list (`placement` distinguishes them). Localize with `location_name`/`location_code`/`location_coordinate` + `language_code` (non-Latin scripts supported). Filter by recency with `time_range`. There is no pagination beyond `depth` — Google News exposes at most 200 articles per query (default 10, max 100 on this surface). For the full article body, scrape the returned `url`. Sourced live from DataForSEO's Google News SERP — an ordinary synchronous request (~1-3s).
