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.
Step 1: Find your Google News URL
1. Go to Google News and search for the topic you want to track.
For example, you can search for:
Your brand name
A competitor
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.
Step 2: Create your Google News RSS feed
1. Go to the Google News RSS Generator in RSS.app.
2. Paste your Google News URL into the Generator.
3. Click Generate.
4. Preview the feed results.
5. Save the feed to your account.
Your Google News RSS feed is now ready to use.
Step 3: Use your feed as a Google News RSS API
After your feed is created, RSS.app provides structured feed output that can be used in different tools and workflows.
Depending on your plan and setup, you can use your feed with:\
RSS XML output
JSON output
Email alerts
Zapier, Make, or other automation tools
Custom apps and dashboards
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.
Step 5: Add AI summaries and analysis
You can also use AI Brief to summarize and analyze articles from your Google News RSS feed.
AI Brief can help you turn a feed into:
A daily news summary
A competitor monitoring brief
A brand mention report
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.
