A Google News API alternative on fetcher.sh — pay-per-call in USDC via x402, or prepaid credits with a Bearer key, no RSS scraping. Use when the user wants keyword search across Google News scoped to a language edition, section headlines (world, business, technology, entertainment, sport, science, health, or a specific topic ID), the latest headlines, a list of supported language-region codes, or to decode a Google News redirect URL into the real article URL. Also covers news monitoring, headline aggregation, media tracking, and press-mention alerts without scraping Google News' RSS feeds directly.
