### `monitor_news_mentions` (~400 tokens)

Monitor news mentions

Find news articles about companies, brands, people, or topics from Google News. Give queries (1 to 50 search terms; quotes for an exact phrase) and optionally since_days, country, language, only_new, and state_key. Returns one row per article: title, outlet, outlet_domain, published_at, publisher_url and publisher_domain (the article on the publisher's own site), google_url, sentiment (headline only), is_new, and matched_queries. With only_new true, articles returned by an earlier call with the same state_key are skipped and not charged. When no article is returned, one free summary row says why. A run that does not succeed is returned as an error with its run ID. Read-only; requires an APIFY_TOKEN; Apify charges per article returned plus a run start fee.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): Google News country edition. Default US.
- `exclude_terms` (array): Up to 20 words to leave out of every search.
- `language` (string): Language code of the edition, for example en, de, or pt-419. Default en.
- `max_articles` (string): Most articles per search term, 1 to 100, newest first. Default 50.
- `max_charge_usd` (string): Optional cap on this run's cost in USD.
- `only_new` (string): true (default): skip articles an earlier run with the same state_key returned.
- `queries` (array, required): 1 to 50 search terms: company names, brands, people, or topics. Put a phrase in double quotes for an exact match.
- `resolve_publisher_url` (string): true (default): resolve each article to the publisher's own URL.
- `since_days` (string): Days back, 1 to 90. Default 7.
