Google News Scraper

Get Google News results as JSON in one line of Node.js. Search any keyword, topic or the top stories, and get back titles, publisher links, sources and publish dates.

import googleNewsScraper from 'google-news-scraper';

const articles = await googleNewsScraper({ searchTerm: "OpenAI", timeframe: "1d" });
// [{ title: "...", link: "https://www.reuters.com/...", source: "Reuters", datetime: "2026-10-14T09:12:00.000Z", time: "3 hours ago", ... }]

• ⚡ No headless browser. Results come straight from Google News feeds, so a search is a single HTTP request and runs happily on serverless platforms such as Vercel and AWS Lambda.
• 🔗 Real publisher URLs. Google's redirect links are resolved to the original article on the publisher's site.
• 🌍 Any language or region. Pass Google's hl/gl/ceid parameters to search local editions.
• 🧠 Optional full text. Turn on getArticleContent to pull each article's body text, ready for summarisation or LLM pipelines.
• 🟦 TypeScript types included, and works with both ESM import and CommonJS require.
• ✅ Checked daily against the live site, so breakages are caught before you notice them.

Good for news monitoring, brand and competitor tracking, market research, trading signals, newsletters and feeding fresh context to AI agents.
