RSS Backend (Default)

The RSS backend is the default. No API key required.

How it works

GNews fetches Google News RSS feeds and parses them using feedparser. Article URLs are resolved from Google’s redirect links to the actual article URLs.

Article fields

Field	Description
`title`	Article title
`description`	Short summary
`published date`	RFC 2822 date string
`url`	Direct article URL
`publisher`	Publisher name/dict

Limitations

Max ~100 results per query
No absolute ISO dates (relative strings like “2 hours ago”)
No thumbnails or favicons
Occasionally affected by Google RSS changes

Usage

from gnews import GNews

# Default — uses RSS
g = GNews(max_results=10)
articles = g.get_news("Python")
