What is GDELT?
GDELT is the Global Database of Events, Language, and Tone. It monitors worldwide online news and selected TV news, extracts entities, locations, themes, and tone, and updates every 15 minutes.
Does GDELT require an API key?
No. The public DOC, GEO, and TV APIs are no-auth endpoints. They are rate-limited, so large-scale or historical analysis belongs in GDELT's downloadable datasets or Google BigQuery.
Are GDELT GEO results verified events?
No. GEO results are locations mentioned in news coverage near the query terms. They are useful for media intelligence, but they are not a verified incident database.
Domain knowledge for GDELT — workflow patterns, data models, and gotchas for your AI agent.
GDELT monitors global online news and selected television news, machine-translates coverage, extracts entities and locations, and updates every 15 minutes.
Brand monitoring: Search articles for the brand, then compare mention volume and tone over the same timespan. Use source country and language filters for regional press.
Narrative shifts: Pull volume and tone timelines for the same query. Investigate spikes with article search.
International coverage: Use quoted phrases for names, source language for non-English press, and source country for domestic-media framing.
Geographic intelligence: Search for a topic with a location, country, or near-radius constraint. Treat places as media location mentions, not verified incident coordinates.
TV monitoring: Look up station IDs when needed, then scope searches by station, network, market, or show. Caption search works best with short distinctive phrases.
Tool calls proxy the GDELT DOC, GEO, and TV APIs in real time, normalize the response shape for agents, and preserve source URLs and GDELT query metadata where available. Results are not cached or scored as verified facts.
