Google News Scraper for Article CSV Exports
This Google News scraper turns approved article URLs into a clean CSV for research, monitoring, and coverage review. Import the template into the UScraper local desktop app, replace the sample URLs, and export keyword, source, title, publish date, article URL, and article body text without building a Google News API workflow.

Export Google News articles to CSV
This template is for teams that already have article URLs from Google News, Google Alerts, RSS feeds, or a separate headline scraper. It does not dynamically discover links and pipe them into later steps. Instead, it follows a controlled multi-URL list so you can decide exactly which publisher pages are included in the export.
That makes the workflow practical for comms teams archiving coverage, analysts reviewing how a topic is reported, and SEO researchers comparing article text across publishers. If a page is blocked by a paywall, CAPTCHA, or publisher access control, the template writes a clear message into the article text field rather than leaving a silent blank row.
Article rows ready for spreadsheets
Export Google News article URLs into CSV with the key fields reviewers need for sorting, filtering, quoting, and audit trails.
One row per supplied URL
The Navigate block loops through your article list while Structured Export appends each result to the same file.
Local desktop workflow
The browser session runs on your machine and the CSV lands in the folder configured inside the export block.
Best-effort article parsing
The template reads common metadata, headline tags, published-time fields, and article-body paragraphs where publishers expose them.
Who this is for
Teams that need article-level news data
Analysts and researchers
Topic review
Favorable to scraping

How to use
Run the Google News scraper
1
Download and import
Download the hosted Google News scraper JSON template, then import it into UScraper.
2
Replace the sample URLs
Open the Navigate block and paste the approved article URLs you want to scrape. Keep the first test batch small.
3
Set the keyword label
Update the keyword column value if your batch tracks a topic other than the bundled "Nobel Prize" example.
4
Confirm the export path
Structured Export writes google-news-scraper.csv with headers and append mode. Change the save folder before recurring runs.

UScraper navigates, waits, clears simple cookie prompts, exports the row, and loops to the next URL.

Output preview
CSV columns produced by the template
The export is intentionally compact. It keeps the topic keyword beside each publisher row, preserves the original article URL, and stores article text or a blocked-page message in the same field so QA can catch access issues quickly.

Frequently asked questions
Scraping public news pages can still be restricted by Google policies, publisher terms, robots rules, copyright, privacy law, and internal data rules. Use modest batches, do not bypass paywalls or bot checks, and get legal review before republishing, resale, or AI training.
Before you run
Practical limits to plan around
Guardrails for reliable Google News exports
Rate limits
Publishers can slow, block, or challenge repeated requests
Avoid aggressive loops, parallel runs, and unattended scraping through verification screens. Treat repeated blocked messages as a signal to stop and review access.
Layout drift
Article markup changes by publisher
Empty title, date, or text fields usually mean the publisher exposes different metadata. Re-test a small batch before relying on recurring exports.
Compliance
News text needs careful downstream use
Review Google policies, publisher terms, copyright rules, client contracts, and internal acceptable-use standards before redistributing article text.
Install the local desktop app from uscraper.io/download, then use this template whenever you need to export Google News articles into a reviewable CSV.
