# News Monitoring: Brand and Topic Watch From Google News Turn Google News into a monitoring feed. Poll one query per watchlist term on a schedule, dedupe what you have already seen, and deliver only the new articles as alerts, a digest, or rows in a database. ## When to use this skill - The user wants news monitoring or media monitoring for a brand, product, executive, or competitor. - They want brand mentions from news sources as a feed, digest, or alert. - They want to track a market, industry, regulation, or crisis as it develops. - They ask for "google news tracking", "google news monitoring", or "news alerts by API". Not for: one-off bulk exports of a single search (use the google-news-api skill), full article text (the feed carries title, snippet, link, source, and date), or social media mentions (news outlets only). ## What each poll returns (one dataset item per page) - `news_results`: articles with `position`, `title`, `link`, `source`, `snippet`, `date` (relative, such as "2 hours ago") - `search_metadata`: `total_results`, `news_count`, `pages_processed`, `pagination_limit_reached` - `search_information`: `query_displayed`, `news_results_state` - `search_parameters`, `search_timestamp`, `page_number` `link` is the dedupe key; `date` plus `search_timestamp` is the freshness signal. ## Prerequisites - Apify account (sign up at https://apify.com?fpr=9n7kx3&fp_sid=skillrepo). - Authentication via `apify login`, or an `APIFY_TOKEN` environment variable (Apify
