# Google News API skill
Read public Google News results as clean JSON. This Google News API skill is a single endpoint: search the news index by keyword and get back headlines, sources and links at 1 credit per article — a cheap way to give an agent current-events awareness or to monitor coverage of a company.
This skill wraps **1 live Google News endpoint** from the [ScraperSocial](https://scrapersocial.com) API. Public data only, returned as clean JSON.
## When to use this skill
- A user asks what the news says about a topic, company or person.
- You are monitoring press coverage for a brand.
- You need recent headlines as context before answering a time-sensitive question.
### Do not use this skill when
- **You need full article text.** This returns headlines and links, not article bodies.
- **You need a persistent alert.** This is a point query; scheduling and deduplication are yours to build.
- **The user's question is not time-sensitive.** Do not spend credits on background you do not need.
