Decode a Google News article URL to its original source. Returns dict with 'decoded_url' key.

from googlenewsdecoder import new_decoderv1 # Example Google News URL (decode to original source) decoded = new_decoderv1('https://news.google.com/articles/CAIiEP0wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZz4wZiIsInNvdXJjZSI6IiJ9') print(decoded.get('decoded_url'))

Debug

Known issues

breakingAs of version 0.1.5, old decoder methods (decoderv1, decoderv2, decoderv3, decoderv4) are deprecated and no longer functional. Use new_decoderv1 instead.

fix

Replace calls to decoderv1/2/3/4 with new_decoderv1.

affects: >=0.1.5

gotchaGoogle News URL structure changes frequently; decoding may fail silently. The function may return {'status': 'error', 'message': '...'} instead of raising an exception.

fix

Always check the 'status' key in the returned dict before using 'decoded_url'.

affects: all

gotchaRate limiting (HTTP 429) is common. From version 0.1.6, a time delay between requests was added, but heavy usage may still be blocked.

fix

Use proxy support via the 'proxy' parameter (added in 0.1.7) or add your own delays.

affects: all
