## What it is
A Python wrapper around the Google News RSS feed providing top stories, topic and geolocation feeds, and full-text search with date-range and exact-match operators. It also parses sub-articles (similar stories) from feeds, useful for collecting headline datasets.

## Use cases
- scrape google news headlines in python
- collect news articles by topic for machine learning training data
- monitor news mentions of a company or person
- add a news feed to my website or app
- search google news by date range and exact phrase
- extract similar news articles for each headline

## When to choose
- you want free, no-API-key access to Google News data via RSS
- you need structured search operators like in-title, date ranges, and when: filters
- you want sub-article/similar-story extraction for ML datasets
- you are doing lightweight media monitoring or PR tracking

## When to avoid
- you need production-scale scraping at volume, since Google may rate-limit or block your server IP
- you need clean, enriched, licensed news data with guaranteed uptime - use a commercial news API instead
- you need full article text, not just headlines and links
- you depend on Google News RSS behavior staying stable, which can change without notice

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: web-scraping, parser, search-engine, http-client
- domain: data-science, crawlers, media, apis
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: google-news, rss, news-aggregation, media-monitoring, news-data, natural-language-processing
