Google News RSS gives titles and redirect links, not articles. This tool resolves the real URL and, if you want, downloads the full text as Markdown.
fullText: true for the article body in Markdown or plain text.onlyNewArticles for scheduled monitoring; date ranges for research.from apify_client import ApifyClient # pip install apify-client
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("fguiraud/google-news-scraper").call(run_input={
"queries": [
"solar energy"
],
"timeRange": "1d",
"maxArticlesPerQuery": 20,
"fullText": True
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
print(item["publishedAt"], item["source"], item["title"])
