GNews is a lightweight Python package that queries the Google News RSS feed and returns article results as usable JSON. It supports keyword, topic, site, and geo-based searches across 141+ countries and 41+ languages, with optional full-text article extraction and a CLI.

Use cases

  • scrape google news articles in python
  • get top news headlines as json
  • search news by keyword or topic
  • fetch full article text from news urls
  • monitor news for a specific country or language
  • collect news articles for nlp datasets

When to choose

  • you need a simple, dependency-light way to query Google News without an official API key
  • you want JSON results with optional full article extraction
  • you need multi-country and multi-language news coverage

When to avoid
