Connector Improvement: News search type in Google Search Console
CompletedGoogle search console provides 4 different search types in the web UI: Web, Image, Video, and News. However, the data synced via Fivetran only has rows for the first three of these categories, with news missing. The Fivetran documentation also omits news from the list of search types.
Google's API documentation for search console indicates that news is an allowed value. For companies that publish content that is included in Google news, this represents an important source of traffic, and having data on its performance from GSC would be highly beneficial.

Hi Josh Moloney, Drew from the Product Team here!
Thanks for this request! I've put it in the backlog for now, but I'll work on getting this prioritized in our next quarterly planning. Seems like a reasonable inclusion for our Google Search Console connector.

Hello,
Google just released this: https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2021/10/search-analytics-discover-gnews?hl=en
My understanding would be this doesn't change your ways of pulling data, but can you confirm this will answer both OP's question + provide new data by default?
Thanks -
We're now planning to incorporate support for News and Discovery in our connector.
