Hi

Thanks a lot for the hard work on this lovely alfred workflow, I use it almost everyday.

I was wondering if we could have Google news built in, that would be an awesome plus.

Thank you!

I don't think so. It doesn't support OpenSearch, and there's no autosuggestion API that I can find.

Thanks for the reply. just for your information, Google has 2 news portal: one is the news tab in google.com, like what's shown below image

another one is an independent portal: image

both of these two are called "google news", but work slightly different.

I was wondering if you've checked both to find the autosuggestion API

Thanks

No, I didn't. I only checked Google News, not the News tab of regular search, though after a cursory look, I see no indication of any news-specific autosuggestion API there, either.

To be honest, I'm not going to spend more than a few minutes trying to find an appropriate API for a given website, unless it's one that I personally care about.

If you do the legwork of finding the API for the site you're interested in, there's a much better chance that it'll get added.

Yeah, sure, I'll look into it and see if I can find the API, will let you know.

Thanks
