Google News Research

News discovery and monitoring through SandBase's Google News integration. Search articles by topic, track news coverage, and analyze media patterns. Read the API map before selecting a capability.

Call SandBase capabilities

Use the capability identifiers below as discovery hints, not MCP tool names. Find the matching endpoint with sandbase_discover(q: "<provider and capability>"); use its returned name in sandbase_inspect(name: "<returned name>"). Read inputSchema, pricing, and execute_as, then call sandbase_run using execute_as.arguments.name and schema-defined arguments. If a run_id is returned, poll sandbase_run_get(run_id: "<returned run_id>") within the task budget until completed or failed; report pending or failed runs without resubmitting them automatically.

Operating principles

• News data is time-sensitive — always note publication dates.
• Cross-reference multiple sources for accuracy.
• Distinguish news reporting from opinion and commentary.
• Cite sources with title, publication, date, and URL.

Workflow

1. Search news

Use google_news_bulk_articles to search news articles by keyword, topic, or entity.

2. Analyze coverage

Look at: publication count, source diversity, timeline (accelerating/decelerating), tone.

Output

Return: news articles (title, source, date, URL), coverage timeline, source diversity analysis, and key themes.
