Use the depth param (10 / 20 / 50 / 100) to pull as many news results as you need per POST to /v1/serp/google-news. Each article keeps its position so you can track how prominently a story ranks.
Every result identifies the publishing outlet and when it was published, so you can sort coverage by source and recency and detect breaking stories as they enter the news SERP.
Each item returns the headline title, the article URL, and a description snippet — enough to ingest coverage straight into a media-monitoring feed without fetching the full page.
Set the location and language fields to retrieve the news SERP for a specific country and locale, since Google News surfaces different outlets and stories per region.
The type field on each item lets you distinguish news article blocks from other result types Google mixes into the news feed.

console.log(data);Google News SERP API — real-time headline and PR monitoring
The YepAPI Google News SERP API returns live Google News results for any query as structured JSON. Send a topic, brand, or keyword and get ranked articles with headlines, publication sources, timestamps, URLs, and descriptions.
It shares one API key with the rest of YepAPI — organic SERP, images, maps, scraping, and AI endpoints — so PR monitoring sits alongside your wider search data at $0.01 per query.
What is a Google News API?
A Google News API lets you programmatically query Google's news index and get structured article results instead of parsing the news SERP by hand. For each story it returns the headline, the article URL, the publication source, a publish timestamp, and a description snippet, ordered by the position it holds. This turns the question of who is covering a topic right now into a single request — you can pull every outlet ranking for a brand name, see how recent the coverage is, and feed it directly into alerting or analysis pipelines without running a scraper against the rendered news page.
Build your own PR monitoring tool
With ranked, timestamped news data you can build a media-monitoring dashboard, a brand-mention alerter, or a competitive coverage tracker. Poll your watchlist of brand and industry terms on a schedule, dedupe by URL, and alert when a new source or a high-ranking story appears. Because each item carries a timestamp you can measure how fast a story spreads, and pair it with the YepAPI organic SERP endpoint to see whether news coverage pushes a topic into general search results.
Google News API pricing — $0.01 per query
Each call to /v1/serp/google-news is a flat $0.01 regardless of how many news results you request, from the top 10 up to 100. No monthly commitment, no minimums. SerpApi charges $0.05 per query and enterprise SEO suites cost far more per call. With YepAPI the same $0.01 rate applies across every search engine endpoint, so monitoring news at scale stays predictable and cheap.
Track competitor coverage and trends as they break
News rankings move by the minute. Use the endpoint to catch coverage of your brand, your competitors, and your industry the moment it enters the SERP, then sort by source and timestamp to separate signal from noise. Re-run queries with different location and language values to monitor how a story plays in each market — useful for global PR teams tracking sentiment and reach across regions.
