This Python module doubles as the missing Google News feed API documentation: https://github.com/kotartemiy/pygooglenews/blob/master/pygoo...

Did not get you. What do you mean?

From the README:

> Google News used to have an API but it was deprecated many years ago. (Unofficial) information about RSS syntax is decentralized over the web. There is no official documentation. So, I tried my best to collect all this informaion in one place.

I was confirming that: the code I linked to is exactly the documentation I need to make use of their feeds - whether or not I use the actual library itself.

(I tend to skip libraries like this in favor of making direct calls to the underlying APIs - just a personal habit of mine)

Yes, got it.

I was collecting those piece by piece over many nights searching the web.

I think I will write a "Google News syntax cheat sheet" on https://codarium.substack.com/

I wonder how long it will take Google to "update" the feeds and break this.

Also, I feel Google might have some problems with this person selling an API for Google's data. (The "Google News API" for which this project is clearly a marketing/learning tool)

First of all, I wish everyone had such a "marketing" tool.

I also felt that way (I did not want to sell an API initially) but then few people in similar business told me that it is "OK" to charge for such API.

And yeah, if google ""update" the feeds and break this" I will be the happiest guy on the planet, trust me.

Is journalist name available?

So given a topic is it possible to rank journos by number of articles produced over time ala techmeme leaderboards?

Unfortunately, no.
