How this service works
Topic in, deduplicated story clusters out: headline, every outlet URL and first-seen time, from GDELT and publisher RSS. Headlines and links only, no article text. Not charged when nothing matches or sources fail.
Output
A list of deduplicated story clusters, each containing a headline, all outlet URLs that covered the story, and the first-seen timestamp for each outlet. Returns up to max_clusters results (default 10, max 20). No article body text is included. No charge is applied if no stories match or if sources are unavailable.
Example use cases
Breaking story coverage tracker
“Get me up to 15 clustered news stories about 'OpenAI' from the last 24 hours, with every outlet URL and when each story was first seen.”
Weekly topic briefing for newsletter
“Pull the top 20 story clusters covering 'climate policy' over the past 7 days — just headlines and links, grouped by story, so I can put together a weekly digest.”
Competitive monitoring for PR team
“What are the news story clusters mentioning 'Rivian' from the past 3 days? Give me up to 10 clusters with all outlet URLs.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://grokzilla.shop/api/skills/news-brief?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need fast, deduplicated multi-source news clustering for a specific topic with minimal cost per call. Prefer it over full-text article APIs when headlines and outlet links are sufficient. It excels at media monitoring, newsletter curation, and event coverage aggregation. The GDELT + RSS sourcing gives broad coverage across publishers. The per-call pricing and free-on-no-match policy make it safe for speculative topic queries.
Side effects
- No matching stories found for topic — returns empty result set, no charge applied
- Source failure (GDELT or RSS unavailable) — returns empty or partial result, no charge applied
- Topic string too short (<2 chars) or too long (>100 chars) — validation error
- Invalid timespan value — must be one of 24h, 3d, 7d
- max_clusters out of range (must be 1–20) — validation error
- Duplicate request_id with same body — idempotently returns prior result without additional charge
