Before you start

Google News monitoring,
answered.

Can I get alerts when something changes on Google News?

Yes. A Monocrawl monitor checks Google News on your schedule and compares each check with the last, so you hear about new coverage of your brand or topic rather than the same results again.

Do I need a Google News account?

No. Monitors read public Google News data through your Monocrawl key. You do not need a Google News login or API access.

How far back does a Google News monitor go?

A monitor starts from its first check and reports what changes after that. It does not backfill older data; use the Google News API for that.

How often can a Google News monitor run, and what does it cost?

Every 15 minutes, hourly, every 6 or 12 hours, daily or weekly. Watching Google News news search costs 1 credit a check: about 30 credits a month daily, 720 credits hourly. Every account gets 1,000 free credits a month, and a cap on each monitor keeps spending predictable.

Do I need to write code?

No. Build a monitor in the dashboard and send alerts to Slack, Discord or a webhook. If you prefer code, monitors are also available through the API and MCP.
