To inspect supported countries programmatically, use Search Service Countries. Google News uses country-name values such as United States.

Output

Click Run in the step header to test the step. Fetch Hive shows the news result output in Output after the run completes. Use the variable picker in a later step to insert the exact output path available for that run. The base reference is: 
{{STEP_IDENTIFIER.output}}
If you want the full result set, reference the base output directly: 
{{step_2.output}}
Use the variable picker after a test run to inspect any nested fields available from the returned article results.

​
Example

Add Google News from the Research group in Search steps…. Set Name to something like Track AI regulation coverage. Enter a topic in Search Query. If the topic should come from an earlier step, click Insert Variable and add that reference. Choose Number of results, then set Language and Location from the lists or switch either field to Custom Value. Turn Fallback Search on if you want a backup service when the primary news search fails. Click Run and review the returned article results in Output before sending them to a later step such as AI Prompt.

​
Notes

  • Use Google News when you care about current coverage or recent articles rather than general web pages.
  • Language and Location can use built-in selectable values or a manual custom value.
  • If you need the exact returned fields for later references, run the step once and inspect the variable picker.
