## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

### Direct Link Google News Scraper

Extract the latest Google news articles from the past 24 hours with our fast and efficient scraper. It can gather a large number of results for a low price.

#### Features:

- Extract News Articles from the Past 24 Hours (based on actual article published date, not on Google News published date)
- Extract Article Direct Links

#### Adjust Memory Limit via API

You can adjust the memory limit for the actor run via the API call, helping to prevent out-of-memory (OOM) errors.

To set the memory limit to 4 GB or more and trigger the actor run, use this GET request:

```bash
GET https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/aymorato~super-fast-google-news-scraper-pay-per-result/runs?memory=4096&token=YOUR_API_TOKEN
```

Replace **YOUR\_API\_TOKEN** with your actual API token.

#### Sample Input:

```json
{
    "keywords": [
        "climate change"
    ]
}
```

#### Sample Ouput:

```json

# Actor input Schema

## `directLink` (type: `boolean`):

Check this option if you want to extract actual article links from the article's page metadata. If you don't need actual article links and images, you can leave this option unchecked and your run will be significantly faster and cheaper.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

The keyword used to search for news articles.

## `language` (type: `string`):

Select your language and region pair.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Set the maximum number of items you want to scrape for each keyword. If you leave this field unset, the actor will extract all available news.

## `proxy` (type: `object`):

Select proxies to be used.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keywords": [
    "tesla"
  ],
  "language": "US:en",
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "keywords": [
        "tesla"
    ],
    "proxy": {
        "useApifyProxy": false
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("aymorato/super-fast-google-news-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "keywords": ["tesla"],
    "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": False },
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("aymorato/super-fast-google-news-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "keywords": [
    "tesla"
  ],
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}' |
apify call aymorato/super-fast-google-news-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,aymorato/super-fast-google-news-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
