- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered

I will say I just found the RSS feeds for News, like as of 2 days ago.
Care to share it? :)
https://news.google.com/rss

Thanks!!
https://news.google.com/rss will redirect to a feed for the top content in your region.
You can also make a search and paste that URL into your feed reader and it will find the feed to subscribe to that search.
Thanks!
you could always write a scraper but javascript makes this a non-trivial task
Just import a headless web browser into your scraper, of course! Couldn't be easier ๐
