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
A JSON object containing the queried topic, a timespan in hours, and an array of language buckets — each bucket includes the language name, article count, and a list of articles with URL, title, source name, language label, image URL (nullable), publication timestamp, source country code, and sentiment score (nullable).
Example use cases
Multilingual crisis coverage comparison
“Pull news articles about the Ukraine ceasefire from the last 24 hours and show me how it's being covered in different languages — I want to see the sources from each country.”
Cross-border policy sentiment scan
“Find me global news coverage on 'carbon tax' from the past 72 hours, grouped by language, so I can compare how English, French, and German outlets are framing the debate.”
AI agent news briefing by region
“Give me a translingual news briefing on 'chip export controls' from the last 48 hours — I want articles grouped by language to understand international reactions.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://gdelt-x402-api.planbdj.workers.dev/news/translingualWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need news articles segmented by language and need cross-lingual or translingual perspective on a topic — especially for international affairs, geopolitical events, or policy topics where different language communities may have distinct coverage. Prefer this over a single-language news API when the user wants to understand global media reactions or compare reporting across countries. It is particularly useful for AI agents doing multilingual media monitoring or cross-border topic research.
Side effects
- Topic query returns no results if GDELT has no recent indexed articles for that term
- Sentiment scores may be null if GDELT did not compute them for a given article
- Image URLs may be null for many articles as GDELT does not always index images
- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance on Base mainnet is insufficient
- High-volume or very broad topic queries may return incomplete coverage due to GDELT indexing lag
- Rate of GDELT data freshness varies; breaking news may not appear immediately
