As part of a Project I'm working on I've been instructed to implement Google News API into a Web Application.
However, I've checked the Google News API site, and I see the following message:
Important: The Google News Search API has been officially deprecated as of May 26, 2011. It will continue to work as per our deprecation policy, but the number of requests you may make per day may be limited.
I've checked SO Questions but I've not been able to find a question related to the News API.
I've checked the Google News RSS, but this uses HTML in the description which won't work for my requirements as I just need the text.
This question is related to
google-search-api
I'm running into the same issue with one of my own apps. So far I've found the only non-deprecated way to access Google News data is through their RSS feeds. They have a feed for each section and also a useful search function. However, these are only for noncommercial use.
As for viable alternatives I'll be trying out these two services: Feedzilla, Daylife
Looks like you might have until the end of 2013 before they officially close it down. http://groups.google.com/group/google-ajax-search-api/browse_thread/thread/6aaa1b3529620610/d70f8eec3684e431?lnk=gst&q=news+api#d70f8eec3684e431
Also, it sounds like they are building a replacement... but it's going to cost you.
I'd say, go to a different service. I think bing has a news API.
