Google News RSS

Google News provides RSS feeds that deliver news headlines organized by topic, location, and search query. The feeds expose structured XML data that can be consumed programmatically to retrieve top stories, topic-based headlines (World, Business, Technology, Sports, etc.), location-specific news, and keyword search results across multiple languages and regions.

Google News RSS publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Headlines API, Search API, and Topics API. Tagged areas include Aggregation, Google News, Headlines, Media, and News.

The Google News RSS catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Google News RSS’s developer surface includes developer portal, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, and 8 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/google-news: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
