Monitor Google News Results
Extract structured news articles from Google News: titles, links, snippets, sources, publication dates, and thumbnail images.

Request parameters

Required parameters:
  • query (string): The search query to execute on Google News (1-10,000 characters)
  • country (string): ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (uppercase) for localized news results. Required — there is no default
Optional parameters:
  • hl (string): Interface language, as Google’s own hl parameter (en, de, pt-BR, …). Overrides the language cloro derives from the country, so the interface language and the result geography can differ. Free-form — Google owns the list of codes
  • gl (string): Alternative to country, using Google’s own parameter name. Same country codes, accepted in either case. Provide country or gl; sending both with different values is a 400
  • device (string): Device the search is run from. Options: desktop (default), ios, android, and mobile (an alias for android). ios emulates Safari on iPhone and android emulates Chrome on Android; all three phone values return the mobile news SERP layout
  • pages (integer): Number of news results pages to scrape (1-10). Defaults to 1
  • include.html (boolean): Include raw HTML response. Defaults to false

Example:

"US"

gl
string

Alternative to country, using Google's own parameter name for the result geography. Same ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes, accepted in either case (us or US), and must be a country the endpoint supports — see GET /v1/countries. Provide country or gl; sending both with different values is a 400.

Example:

"us"

hl
string

Interface language, as Google's own hl parameter (e.g. en, de, pt-BR). Free-form and case-insensitive — Google owns the list of codes. Overrides the language cloro derives from the country, so the interface language and the result geography can differ.

Example:

"en"

device
enum<string>
default:desktop

Device the search is run from. 'desktop' returns the desktop news SERP; 'ios' (Safari on iPhone), 'android' (Chrome on Android) and 'mobile' (alias for 'android') all return the mobile news SERP.

Available options:
desktop,
mobile,
ios,
android
Example:

"desktop"

pages
integer
default:1

Number of news results pages to scrape (1-10)

Required range: 1 <= x <= 10
Example:

1

include
