How this service works
Use when you need news articles or headlines from the last 72 hours about a topic, company or person. Do not use for full article text, paywalled sources, non-English coverage or news older than 72 hours. Returns JSON with recent news articles matching keywords: headline, URL, source, publish time, authors, tone, image and the people and organizations named, from GDELT for 0.008 USDC per call. Typical response time 600 ms (p95). Category: Search.
Output
A JSON object containing the query, hours window, article count, and an array of articles each with headline, URL, source domain, publish timestamp, authors, sentiment tone score, image URL, named persons, and named organizations. Also includes a lastIngestAt timestamp, GDELT attribution, and a suggested next-call hint.
Example use cases
Brand press coverage monitoring
“Pull the 20 most recent headlines mentioning 'Tesla' from the last 24 hours, sorted by recency, so I can see what the press is saying about them right now.”
Competitor news intelligence
“Search for news about 'OpenAI' from the last 72 hours, limit to 30 articles sorted by relevance, and include tone and named organizations so I can track the competitive landscape.”
Executive reputation check

Endpoint
POSThttps://x402-gateway.blackwoodstate8.workers.dev/v1/news-headlines?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need recent (within 72 hours), English-language news headlines about a specific keyword, person, company, or topic with structured metadata including sentiment tone and named entities. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured article metadata (tone, people, organizations) from a consistent news corpus. Do not use for full article text, non-English news, paywalled sources, or news older than 72 hours.
Side effects
- Query string too short (under 2 chars) or too long (over 200 chars) returns validation error
- Hours parameter outside 1-72 range returns validation error
- Limit parameter outside 1-50 range returns validation error
- No matching articles found returns empty articles array with count 0
- Invalid domain filter returns empty results or validation error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns 402 error
- GDELT data lag may mean very recent events (last few minutes) are missing
