What is DataForSEO Google News?

DataForSEO, based in Tallinn, Estonia, began as in-house tooling in 2011 and launched its first API in 2016; its own history says most of the team moved to western Ukraine and later Kyiv after 2022. Its Google News SERP API is cheap if you can wait. In the Standard queue you POST a task and fetch the result later (about five minutes on average) for $0.0006 per page of 10 results, or roughly $0.60 per 1,000. Priority queue costs $1.20 per 1,000 and Live mode, which answers in up to about six seconds, costs $2.00. Asking for deeper results multiplies the price. That asynchronous task model is more work to code than a plain GET, and responses are SERP data without article text.

Typical uses: SEO, Marketing & PR, Media monitoring. What sets it apart: About $0.60 per 1,000 Google News result pages in the Standard queue.
