URL format for Google News RSS feed
Found an up-to-date library (1) that uses Google News RSS.
The URL new format seems to be:
Top news:
https://news.google.com/news/rss
By major topic:
https://news.google.com/news/rss/headlines/section/topic/{topic}
Where {topic} is one of the following values: WORLD NATION BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY ENTERTAINMENT SPORTS SCIENCE HEALTH
By any/custom topic:
Once at https://news.google.com, browse to the desired topic, for example this. Identify the topic ID in its URL, e.g. CAAqIQgKIhtDQkFTRGdvSUwyMHZNR056T1hFU0FtVnVLQUFQAQ, and use the format:
https://news.google.com/rss/topics/{id}?hl={lang}
In the format above, essentially rss/
is added after https://news.google.com/
.
By geolocation:
https://news.google.com/news/rss/headlines/section/geo/{location}
Not sure about the formatting for the {location} parameter
By search query:
New link: https://news.google.com/rss/search?q={query}
Old link: https://news.google.com/news/rss/search/section/q/{query}
Where the {query} parameter is a free text search
Specifying country and language:
For example if you wish to have news in Swedish and located from Swedish sources, add the following query string to the URL to change country and language to sv-SE:
?hl=sv&gl=SE&ceid=SE%3Asv
This options isn't valid anymore: https://news.google.com/news/rss/headlines/section/topic/{topic} produces Error 500.
This seems to work: https://news.google.com/news?cf=all&hl=en&pz=1&ned=us&q=astronomy&output=rss
The Geolocation mentioned above still works too. You can also specify city and state: https://news.google.com/news/rss/headlines/section/geo/DenverCo
Requests to the Geo endpoint seem to be working again.
e.g.
https://news.google.com/news/rss/headlines/section/geo/{place_name}
Also, if you use the non-geo search, you can specify a 7-day window by adding
+when:7d
to your search.e.g.
https://news.google.com/rss/search?q={key_words}+when:7d
