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.

  • What should I use now that Google News API is redundant?
  • Is it the Custom Search API?
  • And if so, how can I make this relevant for just News Results for a particular query for my Web Application?

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.

Depending on your needs, you want to use their section feeds, their search feeds
