Free Google News Search

A news search shows who is writing about a topic today.

A news search returns these fields, and each one answers a different question.

This is an invented result for a made-up search, laid out the way a real one comes back. The counts and the first headlines are free on this page, and a free trial opens the rest.

Searching the news takes three steps and no signup.

One search reads the news results, counts the articles and shows you the first headlines.

This is the path a single search takes. Nothing is clicked, and no publication is contacted.

The Google news search API returns the same articles as JSON from one request.

Send a keyword to the endpoint with your API key, and add a country and a language if you need them. A search that returns articles costs 3 credits, and a search with no news costs 0. The articles are in insights.google_news_result.articles.
