How this service works
News attention & tone timeline by GDELT — coverage-volume and average-tone time series for any query, merged from GDELT's two timeline feeds into one series.
Output
A merged time series combining two GDELT timeline feeds: one showing coverage volume (how many news articles mention the query) and one showing average tone (positive vs. negative sentiment) at each time point, returned as structured data over the requested timespan.
Example use cases
Track brand sentiment after crisis
“Can you pull together a GDELT timeline for 'Boeing' covering the last 6 months? I want to see both how much press coverage they've been getting and whether the overall tone has been improving or getting worse since the door plug incident.”
Monitor election media coverage trends
“I'd like to see how news attention and sentiment around 'Trump Biden election' have shifted over the past 90 days — can you get me a GDELT time series with a weekly smoothing window so I can spot the major swings?”
Analyze coverage spike during natural disaster
“Can you run a GDELT news timeline for 'Morocco earthquake' covering the two weeks around September 2023? I want to understand how quickly media attention spiked and whether the tone shifted from shock to recovery coverage over time.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://gdelt.use.x402atlas.com/timelineWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to understand how media attention and sentiment around a topic, entity, or event have evolved over time — particularly when you want both volume and tone in a single unified time series. Prefer this over a raw GDELT article search when the goal is trend analysis rather than retrieving individual articles.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed GDELT query syntax returns an error
- Timespan exceeding 3 months is rejected
- Smoothing window outside 1–30 range returns a validation error
- No results found for an obscure or misspelled query
- Rate limiting or payment failure if x402 payment not processed
