gdelt-researchResearches global news and US television coverage via the Crawlora API — GDELT web-news search/context/timeline/sentiment, plus GDELT Television 2.0 AI's index of US TV transcripts, captions, on-screen text, and visual labels — returning clean JSON. Use when the user wants coverage-volume or sentiment trends over time, cross-outlet news search, sentence-level co-occurrence search, or what US TV news said/showed about a topic — OSINT, media-monitoring, and political/social-science research.

A corporate communications or PR team tracks how coverage volume and sentiment around their brand, competitors, or key issues shift over days and weeks. They use /gdelt/timeline and /gdelt/tonechart with the same query to see whether coverage is rising and turning negative before issuing a response.
A political or social-science researcher compares how the same topic is framed in global web news versus US television. They run the same query through /gdelt/search and /gdelt/tv-search, then use /gdelt/tv-showchart and /gdelt/tv-stationchart to identify which shows and stations drive the broadcast narrative.
An OSINT analyst or journalist monitors an emerging story using /gdelt/context, which surfaces sentence-level co-occurrence in only the last 72 hours. This catches early framing and fresh angles before a full timeline trend has formed, complementing longer-horizon search and timeline queries.
An agency or in-house monitoring team continuously polls GDELT web and TV endpoints for client keywords and competitors. Alerts fire when tone charts turn negative or TV coverage share spikes, letting teams prepare statements or adjust ad placements quickly.
A civic-tech or campaign team builds a dashboard tracking which issues, entities, and visual labels appear most in US TV news. Using /gdelt/tv-wordcloud, /gdelt/tv-concept-entities, and /gdelt/tv-visual-entities, they quantify what viewers actually see and hear across stations and shows.
A subscription web app wraps the GDELT endpoints with saved queries, scheduled polling, alerts, and dashboards for PR, marketing, and research teams. It layers UX, team collaboration, and reporting on top of the raw Crawlora API calls.
An analyst firm uses the skill to produce recurring paid briefings on media narratives, sentiment shifts, and TV coverage share for topics like elections, industries, or crises. The API provides the underlying data while the firm sells interpretation and context.
A developer resells enriched or normalized GDELT web and TV data through their own API, adding cross-source joins, historical storage, and custom sentiment scoring. They absorb the Crawlora credit costs and charge downstream consumers for value-added access.
💬 Integration Tip
Set CRAWLORA_API_KEY in the environment and use the provided scripts/crawlora.sh wrapper as a thin curl substitute so endpoint calls stay consistent. Always resolve valid station values via /gdelt/tv-stationdetails before calling TV endpoints, and remember /gdelt/context only covers the last 72 hours.
