How this service works
AI-friendly JSON API for global news intelligence. Built on GDELT (free public source), optimized for AI agents — clean responses, 5 use-case endpoints, parallel-aggregated entity graphs, no rate limits, no API keys. Pay-per-query in USDC on Base mainnet via x402.
Output
Returns a JSON array of location objects, each containing the place name, latitude, longitude, country code, and the number of times that location was mentioned in news coverage of the specified topic within the given timespan. Useful for building geographic heatmaps or understanding where a story is physically centered.
Example use cases
Geopolitical conflict coverage mapping
“I want to know where the Ukraine conflict is generating the most news coverage right now — give me a geographic breakdown of locations being mentioned in the last 48 hours with their mention counts.”
Natural disaster news hotspot tracking
“There was a major flood in Southeast Asia recently — can you show me which specific locations and countries are appearing most in global news coverage about it over the past 24 hours?”
Election news geographic spread analysis
“For the topic of 'Brazil election', show me which countries and regions around the world are covering it most heavily in the last 6 hours, with coordinates and mention counts.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://gdelt-x402-api.planbdj.workers.dev/news/geographicWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to understand the geographic distribution of news coverage for a specific topic — i.e., which places on a map are being mentioned in conjunction with a story. Prefer this over general news search endpoints when the user's goal is spatial or cartographic (e.g., building a heatmap, identifying conflict zones, tracking disaster spread). It is ideal for AI agents that need structured lat/lng data with mention frequency rather than raw article text.
Side effects
- Missing or empty topic parameter returns an error
- Invalid timespan format may produce empty or error response
- Very obscure topics may return zero location results
- Network timeouts possible if GDELT upstream is slow
- Payment failure via x402 will block the request before it reaches the API logic
