Search Google News with one call.

1The call
curl -H "x-api-key: $SS_KEY" \ "https://api.socialsearchapi.com/v1/google_news/search?query=artificial+intelligence"
This call costs 1 credit. A new account starts with 50 free credits on any platform: create a key in the dashboard and this command runs as-is.
2Why not build this yourself
Google News has no official API. The feed endpoints that do exist are undocumented, XML-shaped, and quietly refuse datacenter IPs - keeping a parser alive against them is nobody's favourite job.
