I am recently working on web scraping of Google News and dealing with the URL format. I have same question of this post about the meaning of ceid.
For example the link from the post: https://news.google.com/rss/search?q=studie&hl=de&gl=DE&ceid=DE:de
I know hl = host language, gl = for the search results whose country of origin matches the parameter value, but I can't find what ceid for. If I cut that part of the search link, it is unable to show the result, so obviously it is a must part.
So what's the meaning and the purpose of the "ceid"?
Many thanks.
