Google News

App · News · 4 actions

Read Google News: the front page, any of the eight sections, the news for a town or city, or a search across everything Google indexes, in any of its 80 country-and-language editions. Every article comes back as a headline, the publisher, when it was published and a link, so a workflow can summarise a morning brief, watch a company name, or post a topic to a channel. No account or API key is required.

Get local news

Get the latest headlines about one place: a town, city, region or country. Google works out which place you mean, so the result says which one it settled on: ask for 'Bay Area' and it reads 'San Francisco Bay Area'. A name it cannot place comes back as an error rather than as the country's news, which is what the feed does on its own.

Inputs

PlaceplacetextRequired
The town, city, region or country to read the news of. Add the state or country when the name is a common one; there are dozens of Springfields.
Editioneditiontext
Which Google News edition to read. An edition is a country and a language together: it sets what the headlines are written in and which country's news they are chosen for. Defaults to the United States in English.One of: AR:es-419 (Argentina), AU:en (Australia), AT:de (Austria), BD:bn (Bangladesh), BE:nl (Belgium (Dutch)), BE:fr (Belgium (French)), BR:pt-419 (Brazil), BG:bg (Bulgaria), CA:en (Canada (English)), CA:fr (Canada (French)), and 69 more. Default: US:en.
How many articleslimitnumber
How many articles to return, from 1 to 200. Defaults to 10. Google decides how many a feed holds (around 40 for the front page, 70 for a section or a place, and about a hundred for a search) and every result says how many it found, so you can tell a short list from a low limit.From 1 to 200. Default: 10.

Published beforepublished_beforedate
