Common questions
Before you sign up.
How fresh are news results?▼
Live. Each request fetches Google News in real time from the geo you specify, with no cache. Each article carries the age Google shows, such as "40 minutes ago".
Can I geo-target news?▼
Yes. Set location to a country code such as fr or uk, or to a place name such as "Lyon, France", and lang to the language (for example fr) to get Google News as a reader there sees it.
Is this Google News or just web search filtered to news?▼
Real Google News. We pass `search_type=news` upstream, which hits Google's News vertical and returns dedicated news results with the publisher (siteName) and the article's age (date).
Is the publish date a timestamp?▼
No. date is the relative age Google shows, such as "40 minutes ago" or "2 weeks ago". If you need an absolute time, compute it from the time of your request.
Can I schedule recurring searches?▼
Yes, from your own scheduler or cron job. Each response is independent JSON, so it slots into any queue or pipeline. You choose how often to run each query; every search costs 5 credits.
How does this compare to dedicated news APIs?▼
Most news APIs only cover wire services or partner outlets. Google News indexes the open web, so coverage is broader, long-tail local outlets included. Plus you get the same key + credit pool as the rest of the Ujeebu API.
Can I top up credits?▼
Yes, on every plan, including the trial. Top-ups are fixed packs, from $12 for 50K credits ($0.24 per 1K) down to $0.13 per 1K at 5M credits, the same as on /pricing. Top-up credits last 60 days under 500K credits, 90 days from 500K and 180 days from 5M.
5,000 free credits. Live news in 60 seconds.
No credit card. No sales call. Just an API key and your first news pull.
