Tools / Web search and scraping / API
news.search asks Google News for a query in a location and returns the articles it lists as JSON: title, source, snippet, URL, publication time and image. RouterGrowth is independent and is not Google's API. The results come through DataForSEO's Google News endpoint, and every run names the provider that answered.
