How this service works
Search Google News for any query and get real-time news results. Returns a top stories cluster (when available for the query), main news results with article metadata, source info, thumbnails, and published dates (both localized relative text and ISO 8601 UTC). Supports pagination, filtering by time period or custom date range, country, language, sort order, and safe search.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing a 'data' field with two arrays: 'news' (main news results, up to 10 per page) and 'top_stories' (a curated top stories cluster when available). Each article includes title, canonical URL, snippet, source name, source URL, source favicon, thumbnail image (base64), localized relative published date, and ISO 8601 UTC publication datetime. Also includes request metadata like status and request_id.
Example use cases
Breaking news monitoring for a brand
“Search Google News for 'OpenAI' from the last 24 hours, sorted by date, and show me every article title, source name, and when it was published so I can see what's being said about them right now.”
Research news within a custom date range
“Find me Google News articles about 'inflation interest rates' published between 01/01/2026 and 03/31/2026, in English, sorted by relevance — I need the headlines, snippets, and links.”
Country-specific news in a foreign language
“Pull the latest Google News results for 'elezioni politiche' in Italy, in Italian, from the last month — give me the top stories with headlines, source names, and publication dates.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://agents.openwebninja.com/real-time-news-search/search?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time Google News results with rich article metadata (thumbnails, ISO timestamps, source info) and flexible filtering by time period, custom date range, country, language, and sort order. Prefer it over generic web search endpoints when the use case is specifically news discovery, media monitoring, or journalism research. It is especially useful when you need structured, machine-readable news data rather than raw HTML scraping.
Side effects
- Missing required 'query' parameter returns a 400 validation error
- Providing both 'time_period' (non-'any') and 'date_from'/'date_to' simultaneously causes a conflict error
- Invalid country code or language code may return empty or unexpected results
- Query with no matching news returns an empty news array
- Pagination beyond available results returns an empty news array
- Service unavailability or upstream Google News changes may return 5xx errors
