Quick answer
Is there an API for Google News results?
Google offers no public developer API for Google News search results. SerpCrypto fills that gap: set engine=google_news and the API returns the stories Google News shows for your query, country and language as JSON, each with headline, source, date, snippet and link. One successful search costs one credit, from $0.30/1K searches as of October 2026. No KYC; pay in crypto.

What does a Google News search return?
It returns a news_results array, one object per story, in the order Google News listed them. A story keeps its original link, so you read or cite the publisher's own page.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
position | Rank in the list |
title | Headline as shown |
link | URL of the article on the publisher's site |
source | Publisher name |
date | Publication time as Google News displays it |
snippet | Short extract when shown |
thumbnail | URL of the small image when shown |
The API returns headlines and links, not the full text of articles. Articles belong to their publishers; follow the link to read them.

Who uses a Google News API?
Teams that must know quickly when something is published about a name or a topic use it. The most common cases are these:
- Brand and PR monitoring: every new story that mentions a company, a product or a spokesperson. See brand monitoring.
- News agents: an AI agent that answers "what happened today about X" needs fresh, dated sources it can cite. See AI agents.
- Market and policy watch: a sector, a regulation or a competitor, checked every morning in several countries.
- Research datasets: how coverage of a topic changes over weeks, by publisher and by country edition.
How do I get news from one country or in one language?
Set gl to the country and hl to the language. gl=de&hl=de returns the German edition, gl=in&hl=en the English-language edition for India, and gl=br&hl=pt-BR Brazilian Portuguese.
The same story can rank very differently between editions, so a global brand usually checks its three to five largest markets separately. Each edition is one search. The locations page lists the codes.
How often should I check, and what does it cost?
Check as often as you need to react. Hourly checks with period=h suit crisis watch and trading desks; a daily check with period=d suits most brand reports.
The maths is simple: searches per month = queries × editions × checks per day × 30. Twenty brand and product names in one edition checked every hour is 20 × 24 × 30 = 14,400 searches a month. The same set checked once a day is 600. 25,000 searches ($18.75) cover the hourly setup for more than a month, and credits never expire.
How much does the Google News engine cost?
Google News costs one credit per successful search, like every other engine. 10,000 searches cost $7.50 and 100,000 searches cost $56.25, as of October 2026.

Google News API: common questions
Does Google have an official Google News API?
No. Google does not offer a public developer API for Google News search results. Independent SERP APIs such as SerpCrypto run the search and return the results page as structured JSON.
Can I get the full text of each article?
No. The API returns the headline, source, date, snippet, thumbnail and link. The article itself belongs to its publisher; follow link to read it under the publisher's terms.
How fresh are the results?
Searches run at request time, so you get what Google News lists at that moment. Add period=h to keep only stories from the past hour, or period=d for the past day.
Can an AI agent cite the stories it finds?
Yes. Pass title, source, date and link to the model and ask it to cite the link it relies on. The AI agents page shows how to keep the context small.
How do I pay?
Top up from $25 in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, then buy a pack from your balance. No ID, no selfie, no company documents and no card.
