Use Google News Scraper via the API and the MCP

Google News Scraper isn't tied to the Google Sheets sidebar. Every Derrick enrichment - this one included - is also exposed through the REST API and the MCP server, so you can run it from your CRM, your data pipeline, an AI assistant, or any no-code tool (Zapier, Make, n8n). Same credit cost as the add-on, same data. API access is included from the PLUS plan up.

"This app saved me so much time and effort. Great for anyone looking to build a contact list or network at scale quickly. As a start-up it's been invaluable."

Alex Clark

Director | SaaS GTM Leader

"Working pretty nifty compared to Snov.Io. Price wise it does give a fair shake, and IMO better interface since it's google sheets."

David Sire

Mortgage Broker at Zero Point Mortgage

"Derrick is a very simple and user-friendly app to enrich your contacts database. Best thing: you can test it for free. And then the price is so low, it's a no brainer."

Etienne Grange

CEO Form'actions

A list of target accounts is not a list of reasons to call them. Most teams either skip the research or pay someone to read the press for them. Derrick reads the column of company names already sitting in your Google Sheet and writes back, on each row, the single most relevant recent article about that company: headline, link, publisher and publication date. Pick how far back to look, from the last 24 hours to the last 12 months, and the language of the sources.

The hard part is not fetching news, it is rejecting the wrong article. Derrick scores every result and drops the ones that only mention the company in passing, the posts it published about itself, the directory and stock-quote pages. When nothing is genuinely about the company, the row is simply marked "not found" rather than filling your sheet with noise, and you are not charged for it. You pay 1 credit per news actually found. See the Derrick pricing page.

Give every account a reason to call

Enrich your list with the news that actually matters. Companies with no news cost you nothing.

Do I need to install anything to use Google News Scraper?

Just the Derrick Google Sheets add-on (one click, no API keys, no developer setup). Once installed, Google News Scraper is one of the workflows available from the Derrick sidebar inside any Sheet. The same feature is also available via REST API and via the Derrick MCP server for Claude / ChatGPT.

Can I use Google News Scraper on a list of 1,000+ rows?

Yes - Google News Scraper runs as a batch job inside Google Sheets, with progress tracking and per-row credit accounting. The workflow scales linearly: 10 rows or 10,000 rows, the steps are identical and you can step away while it runs.

Where does the data behind Google News Scraper come from?

Derrick aggregates 10+ public-data sources (LinkedIn graph, company websites, registry data, web crawl, third-party providers) and runs a multi-source lookup for Google News Scraper. The first source that returns a confident match wins; if no source is confident enough, the cell is left blank rather than guessed.

Is Google News Scraper GDPR-compliant?

Yes. Derrick only enriches public data, doesn't store personal records beyond the duration of the lookup, and supports full deletion on request. The Sheets add-on runs inside Google's OAuth-protected environment so your data stays private to your account.

Can I trigger Google News Scraper automatically when I add a row?

Yes - set up a Google Sheets onEdit trigger (Apps Script, takes 2 minutes) so a new row in column A automatically runs Google News Scraper into column B. Pair with Zapier / Make / n8n to push CRM contacts directly into the sheet for hands-free enrichment.
