How this service works
Recent news articles (last ~72 hours) that match a query, from GDELT's public Context 2.0 API (DOC 2.0 API as fallback), no key: title, URL, domain, language, time seen and the matching sentence. Supports GDELT query syntax ("exact phrase", sourcelang:english, domain:bbc.co.uk). Covers the sources GDELT monitors, not every outlet. Rate-limited or slow GDELT answers return 503.
Output
A list of news articles (up to 50) each containing: article title, URL, publishing domain, language code, the timestamp when GDELT first saw the article, and the specific sentence from the article that matched the query. Results come from the GDELT-monitored corpus of global news sources published within approximately the last 72 hours.
Example use cases
Breaking news monitoring for a topic
“Search for the latest news articles about the Israel-Gaza ceasefire negotiations from the past 72 hours — I want up to 15 results, and only English-language sources.”
Brand press coverage lookup
“Pull recent news coverage mentioning Tesla from the last three days — give me 20 articles so I can see what journalists are writing about them.”
Niche domain journalism search
“Find recent articles from bbc.co.uk about climate change policy using GDELT — show me the top 10 results with the matching sentences.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.webintel-api.workers.dev/api/search/gdelt-news?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need recent (last ~72 hours) global news coverage on a topic, person, company, or event without requiring an API key. It is especially valuable when you need GDELT's advanced query syntax (exact phrases, language filters, domain filters) and broad cross-lingual global news coverage. Prefer this over RSS-based endpoints when you need structured sentence-level matching across thousands of sources simultaneously.
Side effects
- 503 returned when GDELT is rate-limited or responds too slowly
- Empty result set if the query matches no articles in the GDELT 72-hour window
- Query strings exceeding 200 characters are rejected
- Limit values outside 1–50 range may produce errors
- GDELT coverage gaps: niche or regional outlets not indexed by GDELT will not appear
- DOC 2.0 fallback may return slightly different result structure than Context 2.0
