Google News data extraction
Headlines, sources, and story clusters by topic, keyword, or edition — the fastest read on what is being published about a subject.
Google News is the widest single view of what is being published right now, clustered by story and split by country edition and language. For monitoring a brand, a competitor, or a sector, it is the first place to look and the hardest to watch by hand.
We deliver headline records by keyword, topic, publisher, or edition, clustered the way the platform clusters them, so you can see how a story spread rather than just that it exists.

Questions
Asked before.
How quickly does a new story reach us?
On an hourly schedule, within the hour. For a small watch list of keywords we can go tighter, which is usually what crisis monitoring needs.
Do we get the full article text?
Not from Google News itself — it publishes headlines and links. Full text comes from following through to the publisher, which is what the news sources and aggregators feed does.
Can you cover several countries?
Yes. Each country edition is captured separately with the edition tagged, so you can see how the same story is framed in different markets.
