## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Google News Scraper

Scrape **Google News articles by search term** — headlines, links, publication dates, and sources — with language, country, and time-range filters. Ideal for **news monitoring, brand tracking, PR measurement, and media analysis**. Export to **JSON, CSV, or Excel**.

### What data does it extract?

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| `title` | OpenAI announces new model - TechCrunch |
| `link` | https://news.google.com/rss/articles/... |
| `publicationDate` | Tue, 30 Jun 2026 14:02:00 GMT |
| `source` | TechCrunch |
| `sourceUrl` | https://techcrunch.com |
| `searchTerm` | artificial intelligence |

### Features

- **Multiple search terms per run** — monitor several topics/brands at once.
- **60+ languages and countries** — `language` + `country` codes target any Google News edition.
- **Time filters** — past hour, 24 hours, week, or month.
- **Deduplication** — the same article never appears twice across terms.

### Use cases

- **Brand monitoring** — daily scheduled run for your company name + competitors.
- **Crisis detection** — hourly runs with "past hour" filter + Slack webhook.
- **Content curation** — feed newsletters and dashboards with fresh industry news.
- **Research** — build news datasets on any topic over time.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searchTerms": [
        "artificial intelligence"
    ],
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("moving_beacon-owner1/google-news-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
