Unfortunately, the official Google News API has been deprecated for years, and Google hasn’t released any official replacement. But the good news is — there are a few solid alternatives that serve the same purpose, often with more flexible features.
One of the most popular options right now is NewsData.io
. It’s a free and reliable Google News API alternative that lets developers fetch real-time and historical news data in JSON format. You can easily filter news by keyword, language, country, or category (like business, tech, or sports).
Here’s why it’s a great alternative:
Offers both free and premium plans with good daily limits
Collects news from thousands of global sources, including Google News
Provides AI-based categorization for better accuracy
Simple RESTful API — perfect for quick integration
Supports multilingual news and date-based filters
If you were using the Google News API to get live or trending headlines, NewsData.io can easily replace it. You can check their documentation here: https://newsdata.io/documentation
