Google News has no official API. If you want news for a keyword in a spreadsheet, for brand monitoring, a weekly PR report, competitor tracking, or feeding an AI agent, you usually end up copy-pasting.

This tutorial gets you a clean CSV in about 5 minutes. Disclosure: I built the tool used here ( GridForge Google News Scraper on Apify). It reads Google News' public RSS feeds, so there's no browser automation and nothing to break when the page layout changes.

What you get

One row per article:

Apify's free plan includes monthly credits, and the tool costs $2 per 1,000 articles, so small monitoring jobs fit inside the free credits.
