How to get ETtoday News in Looker Studio
Search ETtoday headlines by keyword. A run saves one row per result.
Set up the Apify actor
Apify is where this run is collected. An actor is the program that collects the rows. A task is that program saved with your settings, so the next section can ask for the latest rows. You need a free Apify account.
- 01Open ETtoday News and click Try for free. Create an Apify account if you do not have one. The Free plan does not ask for a card.
- 02You are on the input form. Keep the sample for this first run.
{ "query": "iphone", "maxItems": 5 } - 03Leave the proxy setting as it is. Click Start and wait until the run says Succeeded.
- 04Open Storage, then Dataset. You should see
publishedOn. - 05When you want the real list, raise maxItems. The sample cap is only there so the first run stays small.
- 06Go back to the input and choose Save as a new task. Name it after this list.
- 07Open the task. Copy the task ID from the address bar. Excel, Sheets, Power BI, and the other guides ask for this ID.
- 08On the task, open Schedules and add a weekly run if you want fresh rows. Each run pays the start charge and the charge for the rows. The amounts are in the price list on this page.
- 09Open Settings, then API & Integrations, and copy an API token. Excel, Sheets, and the other guides put this token in a download link. Anyone with that link can download the rows, so treat it like a password.
How to set up in Looker Studio
Use the task ID and the API token from Set up the Apify actor, above.
- 01The simplest path is the Google Sheet from the Sheets guide. In Looker Studio, choose Create, Report, then Google Sheets, and pick that sheet.
- 02Or upload an export: on a finished run, choose Export, then connect File upload.
- 03The weekly schedule from Set up the Apify actor, above, is what keeps the Sheet, and the report, current.
