# Google News Scraper

> For each company in your sheet, get its most relevant recent news article: title, link, publisher and date.

*Canonical: https://derrick-app.com/features/google-news-scraper*

## Where it runs

- **Google Sheets add-on** - run it from the Derrick sidebar, results written to your sheet.
- **MCP server (AI agents)** - call it from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. See /mcp.
- **REST API** - call it from your own code (Standard plan and up). Docs: https://app1.derrick-app.com/api/v1/docs/

## How to use it in Google Sheets

### Step 1: Select your company column
Point Derrick at the column holding your company names, one company per row.

### Step 2: Choose how far back to search
From the last 24 hours to the last 12 months. Optionally set the language of the news sources.

### Step 3: Get the news on every row
Four columns are added: article title, link, publisher and publication date.

## Use it from an AI agent (MCP)

Exposed as the `derrick_google_news` tool on the Derrick MCP server.

**Example prompt**: "Get the latest news about Notion"

**Result**: Recent articles (title, source, date, link).

Install: `claude mcp add derrick -- npx -y derrick-mcp`. Full catalog at /mcp.md.

## Use it from the REST API

Action: `google_news`. Available from the STANDARD plan upward, same credit cost as the add-on.

- Auth: Bearer API key (Google Sheets add-on -> Settings -> API access)

## Give every account a reason to call
Enrich your list with the news that actually matters. Companies with no news cost you nothing.
