transparent pricing

How pricing works

How much does news scraping cost? Pricing comes down to clear factors, from the number of sources to the delivery format. We send an estimate and a sample stream before work starts.

Number of sources
How many websites and Google News and Bing News sections need to be covered.
Data volume
The number of articles, pages, and fields in the export.
Update frequency
One-time, daily, or every few minutes: the more frequent, the higher the load.
Source complexity
Dynamic web pages, logins, and site protection.
Delivery format
A file, a refreshing feed, an API, or a ready-to-use web interface.
Extra processing
Deduplication, sentiment, language, and filters by topic and keyword.

What news scraping is

News scraping is the automated collection of articles from news websites and aggregators. Software crawls the sources, extracts the articles, and converts them into a single consistent structure. Instead of manually skimming dozens of feeds, you get one clean data stream.

News remains the primary source of market intelligence. A scraper turns scattered pages into a table or JSON that your analysts and models can work with right away.

What the scraper returns for each article:

  • headline and full text with no ads or clutter;
  • outlet, author, publication date and time;
  • section, tags, and keywords;
  • links to the original source and images;
  • language and sentiment on request.

Where the sources come from: Google News and Bing News

We scrape Google News data and take our publisher list directly from it: more than 100,000 active online media outlets, from national publications to niche industry portals.

We also collect Bing News. Microsoft's aggregator covers international outlets especially well and serves as a cross-check on stream completeness.

What this gives you:

  • the stream contains active outlets, not abandoned sites;
  • new sources on your topic are added without manual research;
  • the search engines have already vetted and ranked the publishers;
  • coverage from global newswires to regional media.

Need a source outside the aggregators? We'll add it manually: corporate newsrooms, industry blogs, government portals. A list of outlets with editorial contacts is built by our media database: a related service.

How news scraping from websites works

Sources are all built differently. Some have an RSS feed, others only regular web pages, and on others the content is rendered by scripts. In news scraping, speed matters as much as completeness, so each source type gets its own collector.

The process looks like this:

  • the source is crawled on a schedule: every few minutes for key outlets;
  • the HTML of each page is fetched and parsed;
  • the text, date, author, and section are extracted;
  • ads, navigation, and boilerplate code are stripped;
  • dates and encodings are normalized, duplicates are merged.

We also keep the meta tags and headers on the article page: description, Open Graph, canonical links. Republished copies are merged, and every article is tagged with a link to the original source. The output contains no duplicates.

Texts and metadata are validated. If a site's layout changes, the scraper notices, and our development team updates the parsing rules. Your stream never stops.

Parsing web pages of any complexity

Not every site gives up its content easily. The scraper handles the typical challenges on its own:

  • dynamic web pages: content rendered by scripts is processed by a browser engine;
  • pagination, infinite feeds, and date-based archives;
  • sections behind logins, where the platform's rules allow it;
  • mixed languages, encodings, and date formats.

A common problem: an outlet changes its layout without warning. The collector spots the failure through a drop in completeness, then an engineer fixes the rules. For you the process is invisible. We crawl at a respectful rate and never flood sites with unnecessary requests.

News from Telegram and social media

Many outlets run a Telegram channel, and a story often appears there before it hits the website. On request, we add outlets' public Telegram channels as an extra source. Each channel post is linked to the outlet and merged with the website version of the story.

A note on scope: we do not collect user posts, comments, or brand mentions on social media. Those tasks are covered by brand mention monitoring.

Why businesses scrape news

For a business, a news stream is not an end in itself but a tool. It saves time and feeds decisions with information.

Typical use cases:

  • tracking the news agenda and market trends;
  • competitor monitoring: products, deals, executive moves;
  • company news for trading signals and scoring;
  • article corpora for training ML models;
  • ready-made news feeds inside products.

For legal and compliance teams, the stream covers regulatory updates. A new law passes or requirements change — under GDPR or CCPA, say — and a topical digest is already in the team's inbox. We never touch user profiles or comments: we collect editorial content only.

Every project starts with a sample stream. You review the data, check the structure and volumes, and then the work begins. If the task is unusual, we'll build a prototype. Every project gets a dedicated project manager.

why us

Why teams trust us with news scraping

We have been collecting data for analytics and ML since 2015. A news stream is only valuable when it is complete, clean, and on time.

01
Clean texts

We strip ads, navigation, and boilerplate. What remains is the headline, article text, and metadata.

02
Any source

RSS, HTML, dynamic sites, and archives. We collect even where there are no feeds.

03
Duplicate merging

Republished copies are merged with a link to the original source. You see each story once.

04
Speed

Key sources are polled every few minutes. The stream flows in near real time.

05
Scraper maintenance

An outlet changed its layout? We fix it ourselves. Our development team owns stream completeness.

06
Transparency

An estimate and a sample stream before we start, a contract, and clear pricing with no hidden fees.

FAQ

News scraping FAQ

If you don't see your question here, send a request: we reply within one business day.

Which sources can you collect?

Online media, news aggregators, industry portals, and corporate newsrooms. There are virtually no site restrictions. We also work with sources that have no RSS: dynamic sites, archives, and sections behind logins where the platform's rules allow it. Outlets' public Telegram channels can be added on request.

How much does news scraping cost?

Projects start at $150. The final price depends on the number of sources, data volume, update frequency, and extra processing (see the factors above). We send an exact estimate and a free data sample before work starts.

Can I get an archive going back years?

Yes. We collect retrospectives from outlets' archive sections and web archives, as far back as the source's storage depth allows. Historical article archives are handy for model training and retrospective analysis.

How quickly do stories arrive?

It depends on the mode. With streaming delivery, key sources are polled every few minutes, and an article enters the stream almost as soon as it is published. We'll confirm scraper speed for your source list during the test.

Where does your publisher list come from?

We scrape Google News data and take the publisher list straight from it — more than 100,000 online media outlets across every topic. We also collect Bing News, Microsoft's news aggregator: it extends coverage of international sources and helps verify stream completeness. Sites outside the aggregators are added manually from your list.

What format do you deliver in?

JSON, XML, or CSV: as a file, a refreshing feed, or via API. We align the field schema with your system. We can also deliver via a web interface with a feed, filters, and export.

Do we need to install anything?

No. There is nothing to install. Everything runs on our side: scrapers, cleaning, storage, and delivery. We handle development and maintenance. You receive ready-to-use data in a convenient format.

What happens if a site starts fighting scrapers?

Layout changes and anti-bot protection are routine scraping challenges. The collector spots a failure through a drop in completeness, and our team updates the parsing rules. For clients the process is invisible: the stream keeps flowing.

Can I filter news by topic and keyword?

Yes. Set categories, keywords, or a list of companies, and only relevant content enters the stream. On request we add topic classification, sentiment, and entity extraction: companies, people, tickers.

Do you analyze brand mentions in the news?

Those are related services. Coverage of your company, with sentiment and reach, is tracked by media monitoring. Social media posts are caught by brand mention monitoring. News scraping delivers the full stream on a topic, without tying it to a brand.
