apify-google-news（apify Google news 搜索）

Google News Scraper with Apify

Search and extract news articles from Google News with full article content, enriched descriptions, and metadata. Supports region and language filtering.

Actor: futurizerush/google-news-scraper

Prerequisites

Set APIFY_API_TOKEN in environment. Get a token at console.apify.com/account/integrations.

Execution Flow

Apify runs are asynchronous. Every request follows 3 steps:

1. Start a run -- POST to the actor API, receive a run ID and dataset ID
2. Poll until done -- GET the run status, wait for SUCCEEDED
3. Fetch results -- GET the dataset items (returns a JSON array)

Typical run time: 30-90 seconds depending on query count and article enrichment.

Input Parameters

Complete Example (Python)

import requests, os, time

TOKEN = os.environ["APIFY_API_TOKEN"]
BASE = "https://api.apify.com/v2"

# Step 1: Start the run
response = requests.post(
    f"{BASE}/acts/futurizerush~google-news-scraper/runs?token={TOKEN}",
    json={
        "searchQueries": ["AI"],
        "region": "us",
        "language": "en",
        "dateFilter": "1d",
        "maxResults": 10,
    },
)
response.raise_for_status()
run = response.json()["data"]
run_id = run["id"]
dataset_id = run["defaultDatasetId"]

# Step 2: Poll until done
while True:
    status = requests.get(
        f"{BASE}/actor-runs/{run_id}?token={TOKEN}"
    ).json()["data"]["status"]
    if status == "SUCCEEDED":
        break
    if status in ("FAILED", "ABORTED", "TIMED-OUT"):
        raise RuntimeError(f"Run failed: {status}")
    time.sleep(5)

# Step 3: Fetch results (JSON array)
items = requests.get(
    f"{BASE}/datasets/{dataset_id}/items?token={TOKEN}"
).json()
for article in items:
    print(f"[{article['source']}] {article['title']}")
    print(f"  URL: {article['articleUrl']}")
    print(f"  Published: {article['pubDate']}")
    if article.get("enrichedDescription"):
        print(f"  Summary: {article['enrichedDescription'][:100]}")

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

RUN_ID=$(echo "$RUN_RESPONSE" | jq -r '.data.id')
DATASET_ID=$(echo "$RUN_RESPONSE" | jq -r '.data.defaultDatasetId')

# Step 2: Poll until done
while true; do
  STATUS=$(curl -s "https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/$RUN_ID?token=$APIFY_API_TOKEN" \
    | jq -r '.data.status')
  [ "$STATUS" = "SUCCEEDED" ] && break
  [ "$STATUS" = "FAILED" ] || [ "$STATUS" = "ABORTED" ] && echo "Failed: $STATUS" && exit 1
  sleep 5

Error Handling

Tips

• Use dateFilter: "1h" for real-time news monitoring and alerting.
• Use dateFilter: "1d" for daily news digests.
• articleContent.content provides the full article text (up to ~2000 chars) -- useful for summarization.
• enrichedDescription is a cleaner summary than description (which contains raw RSS data with related headlines).
• timestamp is ISO 8601 format, easier to parse than pubDate.
• Multiple search queries run in a single actor execution.
• No login or API key for Google News required.
