name: google-news description: >- A Google News API alternative on fetcher.sh — pay-per-call in USDC via x402, or prepaid credits with a Bearer key, no RSS scraping. Use when the user wants keyword search across Google News scoped to a language edition, section headlines (world, business, technology, entertainment, sport, science, health, or a specific topic ID), the latest headlines, a list of supported language-region codes, or to decode a Google News redirect URL into the real article URL. Also covers news monitoring, headline aggregation, media tracking, and press-mention alerts without scraping Google News' RSS feeds directly. keywords:

Google News API

Google News headlines and search as clean JSON — one plain HTTP GET per call, paid as you go. No RSS feed scraping, no redirect-URL decoding by hand, no undocumented internal endpoints.

Base URL: https://google-news.fetcher.sh

Authentication

Two ways to pay, same data — full mechanics in the fetcher skill:

# 1. Prepaid credits (recommended — get a key at https://fetcher.sh/topup
#    or via POST /api/credits/topup, see the fetcher skill)
export FETCHER_API_KEY="bby_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://google-news.fetcher.sh/api/search?keyword=hello&languageCode=en-US"

# 2. x402 pay-per-call — omit the header; a GET with no payment returns 402
#    with machine-readable payment requirements (USDC on Base, Polygon,
#    Arbitrum, Monad, or Solana). @x402/fetch signs and retries automatically.

Every response is { "status": number, "message": string, "data": ... }; the HTTP status mirrors status.

Endpoints (12 — all GET, $0.005/call)

EndpointWhat it returns
/api/searchHeadlines matching a keyword, in one language edition
/api/latestLatest headlines
/api/worldWorld section headlines
/api/businessBusiness section headlines
/api/technologyTechnology section headlines
/api/entertainmentEntertainment section headlines
/api/sportSport section headlines
/api/scienceScience section headlines
/api/healthHealth section headlines
/api/topic/{topicId}Headlines for an arbitrary topic ID
/api/language-regionsEvery supported languageCode value
/api/decode-article-urlResolves a Google News redirect URL to the real article URL

languageCode (e.g. en-US, en-GB, fr-FR) is required on every endpoint except /api/language-regions, which takes no parameters at all and exists specifically to list the valid values. keyword is additionally required on /api/search; url is required on /api/decode-article-url.

Scenarios

Keyword search, US English edition:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "keyword=stablecoin regulation" -G \
  --data-urlencode "languageCode=en-US" \
  "https://google-news.fetcher.sh/api/search"

Same search, UK English edition:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "keyword=ai policy" -G \
  --data-urlencode "languageCode=en-GB" \
  "https://google-news.fetcher.sh/api/search"

Section headlines (technology, business):

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "languageCode=en-US" -G \
  "https://google-news.fetcher.sh/api/technology"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "languageCode=en-US" -G \
  "https://google-news.fetcher.sh/api/business"

Headlines for a specific topic ID:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "languageCode=en-US" -G \
  "https://google-news.fetcher.sh/api/topic/CAAqJggKIiBDQkFTRWdvSUwyMHZNRGxqTVdZU0FtVnVHZ0pWVXlnQVAB"

List every supported language/region code before picking one:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://google-news.fetcher.sh/api/language-regions"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" -G \
  --data-urlencode "url=https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMi..." \
  "https://google-news.fetcher.sh/api/decode-article-url"

Free: search_endpoints, describe_endpoint, check_balance. Paid: fetch_data (any endpoint above), topup_credits, plus the named shortcut google_news_search. Drop the headers block to pay per call with x402 instead — see the fetcher skill for the full flow.

Errors

  • 400 — missing/invalid parameter (message names it) — most commonly a missing languageCode
  • 401 — unknown or rotated key
  • 402 — payment required (x402 challenge) or topup_required (credits exhausted)
  • 404 — not a priced path
  • No rate limits; no refunds on upstream failures (settlement precedes delivery)
