GDELT News Monitor (keyless)

Apify actor that monitors global news via the GDELT 2.0 DOC API (https://api.gdeltproject.org/api/v2/doc/doc) — no API key required.

Verification date: 2026-09-25. The parameter set below was verified with live calls to the API on that date:

Verified parameter set

Parameter	Value	Notes
`query`	keywords + filters	required; see query syntax below
`mode`	`ArtList`	article list mode
`format`	`json`	returns `{"articles": [...]}`
`sort`	`DateDesc`	newest first
`maxrecords`	`75`	API caps a single request at 75
`timespan`	e.g. `24h`, `7d`	rolling window; alternative to datetime range
`startdatetime` / `enddatetime`	`YYYYMMDDHHMMSS`	explicit UTC window
`domain:<d>`	optional query suffix	e.g. `domain:reuters.com`
`sourcecountry:<c>`	optional query suffix	lowercase code; uppercase `SK` was rejected live with "Invalid/Unsupported Country"

Query syntax (verified)

Multiple keywords must be OR'd as a quoted, parenthesized group: ("renewable energy" OR "solar power"). Unparenthesized OR groups are rejected by the API ("Queries containing OR'd terms must be surrounded by ()").
The actor quotes multi-word keywords and builds the parenthesized OR group automatically from comma-separated input.
Rate limit: GDELT allows ~1 request / 5 s per IP. The actor retries throttled responses (up to 5 times, 6 s apart).

Input

{
  "keywords": "renewable energy, solar power",
  "timespan": "7d",
  "maxItems": 10
}

Optional: startDateTime/endDateTime (YYYYMMDDHHMMSS), domain (comma-separated), sourceCountry (comma-separated lowercase codes).

Output

One item per article, deduplicated by URL:

{
  "url": "...",
  "title": "...",
  "seendate": "20260925T094500Z",
  "domain": "example.com",
  "language": "English",
  "sourcecountry": "United States",
  "queryMatch": "(\"renewable energy\" OR \"solar power\")"
}

Pricing (pay-per-event)
