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 object containing the queried topic, an array of articles (each with URL, title, source domain, language, image URL, publication timestamp, source country, and a floating-point sentiment score), and a total_found count indicating how many articles were returned.
Example use cases
Crypto market sentiment monitoring
“Pull the latest news articles about Ethereum from the past 24 hours and tell me whether the overall coverage is positive or negative based on sentiment scores.”
Corporate press coverage tracking
“Find me recent global news about Tesla from the last 12 hours — I want to see what outlets are covering them and how the sentiment looks.”
Geopolitical event briefing
“Get me the most recent news articles about the conflict in Gaza from the past 48 hours, including which countries the sources are from.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://gdelt-x402-api.planbdj.workers.dev/news/recentWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable recent news data with sentiment scores across global sources, especially for AI agent workflows that require pay-per-query pricing with no API key setup, no rate limits, and clean JSON responses. Prefer it over scraping news sites directly or using subscription-based news APIs when you need lightweight, on-demand news intelligence billed in USDC on Base mainnet.
Side effects
- Topic returns zero articles if GDELT has no recent indexed coverage — total_found will be 0
- Payment failure on Base mainnet will block access if USDC balance is insufficient or x402 handshake fails
- Overly broad or ambiguous topics may return loosely related articles
- Non-English topics may return fewer results depending on GDELT language coverage
- Sentiment scores are algorithmic estimates and may not reflect nuanced editorial tone
