What this skill does
Google News Automation Skill 📖 Introduction This skill provides a one-stop news collection service using BrowserAct's Google News API template. It directly extracts structured news results from Google News, including headlines, sources, publication times, and article links. Simply input search keywords and time filters to get clean, usable news data. ✨ Features 1. No Hallucinations: Pre-set workflows avoid AI generative hallucinations, ensuring stable and precise data extraction. 2. No Captcha Issues: No need to handle reCAPTCHA or other verification challenges. 3. No IP Restrictions: No need to handle regional IP restrictions or geofencing. 4. Faster Execution: Tasks execute faster compared to pure AI-driven browser automation solutions. 5. Cost-Effective: Significantly lowers data acquisition costs compared to high-token-consuming AI solutions. 🔑 API Key Setup Before running, check the BROWSERACTAPIKEY environment variable. If not set, do not take other measures; ask and wait for the user to provide it. Agent must inform the user: "Since you haven't configured the BrowserAct API Key, please visit the BrowserAct Console to get your Key." 🛠️ Input Parameters Agent should flexibly configure the following parameters based on user needs: 1.
