Overview
The Google News Scraper collects news coverage at scale: headlines, article URLs, publishers, publication timestamps, snippets, topics, and related coverage clusters. PR teams and analysts use it for media monitoring, share-of-voice measurement, and tracking how stories propagate across outlets. Search queries, topics, and timelines run on Apify's cloud with automatic pagination through result sets. Export to JSON or CSV to build coverage timelines, alert on brand mentions, and analyze which publishers drive a narrative — without manual news-sweeping every morning. Set up standing topic queries for executives, clients, or portfolio companies and never miss a mention.
