How this service works
Global news article search by GDELT — normalized fulltext search across worldwide media (query syntax: phrases, OR, sourcecountry, theme, tone) returned as a clean snake_case envelope.
Output
A snake_case JSON envelope containing a ranked list of news articles matched by GDELT's fulltext index. Each article includes title, URL, publication date, source country, source name, and tone score. Results are ordered by the requested sort method (HybridRel by default).
Example use cases
Monitor corporate reputation in media
“Search GDELT for any news articles mentioning 'Tesla' from the past 3 days, filtered to only English-language sources, and sort them by tone so I can see the most negative coverage first — give me up to 25 results.”
Track breaking geopolitical crisis news
“Find me the latest news articles from GDELT about the conflict in Sudan published in the last 24 hours, sorted by date descending, and limit results to sources from African and European countries — I want up to 30 articles.”
Research themed investigative stories
“Search GDELT for news articles related to the theme of election fraud or voter suppression from the past 30 days, using a boolean query that excludes sports coverage, and return up to 50 results ranked by relevance.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://gdelt.use.x402atlas.com/searchWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to search and retrieve actual news articles from global media using GDELT's powerful query syntax — especially when you need phrase matching, boolean logic, tone filtering, country/language scoping, or theme-based filtering. Prefer this over the sibling timeline endpoint when you need article-level results rather than aggregate time-series coverage data. Best for agents doing media monitoring, investigative research, or event-driven news retrieval.
Side effects
- Missing required 'query' parameter returns a 400 error
- Timespan exceeding 3 months is rejected as out of range
- maxrecords above 250 is clamped or rejected
- Malformed GDELT query syntax (e.g. unbalanced quotes) may return zero results or an error
- No matching articles returns an empty result set rather than an error
- Payment failure (x402) results in a 402 response before search is executed
