How this service works

Find recent topic news or poll for new-to-agent links using a bounded follow-up checkpoint and seen history. Return normalized links, exact-link/headline deduplication and optional source-linked headline highlights from a7-day GDELT headline index. Monitoring dates are not verified publication dates.0.01 USDC per completed search, including no new links; source failures are uncharged.

Output

Returns a JSON object containing a list of deduplicated news articles (ID, URL, title, language, source domain, observed timestamp, duplicate count), a coverage block (rows fetched, duplicates removed, truncation flags), an optional summary with source-linked headline highlights, monitoring state for incremental polling, and GDELT attribution metadata.

Example use cases

Competitive intelligence news briefing

“Find me up to 20 recent news articles about 'OpenAI GPT' from the last 5 days, sorted by relevance, English only — I want to see what's being written about them right now.”

Daily topic newsletter curation

“Pull the latest 10 news headlines about 'climate policy' from the past 2 days sorted by newest, and include a summary with source-linked highlights so I can write a briefing.”

Incremental news monitoring loop

“Search for news on 'Federal Reserve interest rates' over the last 7 days, return up to 30 articles, and skip these article IDs I've already seen: article-1a2b3c4d5e6f7890 / headline-9d12a0a05f5e0338 — I only want fresh results.”

Endpoint

POSThttps://api.mekler.ai/v1/research/news/find-topic-news?utm_source=zero.xyz

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need recent (1–7 day) deduplicated news search grounded in GDELT data, especially when you want source-linked headlines, incremental monitoring via seen-article deduplication, and pay-per-call USDC billing without managing API keys. Prefer it over general web search when you specifically need news articles with source attribution and duplicate suppression.

Side effects

Query string fails pattern validation (non-word characters) → 400 error
Days parameter exceeds maximum of 7 → 400 error
Seen array exceeds 32 items → 400 error
No articles found for query in window → empty articles array with status ok
Payment not received or insufficient USDC → 402 payment required
GDELT upstream unavailable → 5xx error
Result truncated due to byte limit → possibly_truncated: true flag in coverage
