How to use RSS.app as a Google News RSS API

Google News API Alternative: Create Google News RSS Feeds with RSS.app

Google News is one of the easiest ways to monitor breaking stories, brand mentions, competitors, industry trends, and specific topics. However, Google News does not offer a simple official Google News API for most users.

With RSS.app, you can create a Google News RSS feed from any public Google News search or topic page, then use that feed as a lightweight Google News RSS API for your app, website, dashboard, newsletter, or automation workflow.

Why use RSS.app as a Google News API alternative?

RSS.app makes it easy to turn Google News results into structured RSS feed data without building your own scraper or maintaining a custom integration.

You can use RSS.app to:

  • Create RSS feeds from Google News search results

  • Track keywords, companies, topics, and industries

  • Pull Google News articles into your app or website

  • Connect news feeds to automation tools

  • Generate AI summaries from Google News articles

  • Use XML or JSON feed outputs for custom workflows

If you need a Google News API alternative, RSS.app gives you a simple way to access fresh Google News content through RSS feeds.

For example, you can search for:

  • An industry keyword

  • A product category

  • A breaking news topic

  • A location-based news query

2. Once the results page loads, copy the Google News URL from your browser.

Please note that RSS.app works with public Google News pages. Personalized pages, such as “For You” or pages that require login, cannot be used to generate RSS feeds.

This makes RSS.app a flexible Google News RSS API for collecting and displaying news content from Google News.

Step 4: Automate Google News monitoring

Once your Google News feed is saved, RSS.app will continue checking for new articles according to your plan's refresh rate.

You can use your feed to monitor:

  • Brand mentions

  • Competitor updates

  • Industry news

  • Market trends

  • Product launches

  • Local news

  • Press coverage

Instead of manually checking Google News, your RSS feed updates automatically as new articles appear.

AI Brief can help you turn a feed into:

  • A daily news summary

  • A market research update

  • A Google News article analysis

  • A quick executive briefing

This is useful when you want more than a list of links. AI Brief helps you understand the key points, trends, and important updates across multiple Google News articles.
