Endpoint
POSThttps://gdelt-tension.hergertsynthora.com/service?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a quantified, near-real-time geopolitical tension signal derived from global news coverage rather than a simple headline search. It is purpose-built for detecting escalation events, volume anomalies, and tone shifts for any topic or country using GDELT's global news graph — making it ideal for political risk monitoring, conflict early warning, and investment due diligence workflows where a structured numeric signal is more useful than raw news results.

- GDELT data unavailable for very niche or obscure topics may return low-confidence or empty series
