Global Knowedge Graph (gkg) full text search
Update 3.1.2020: Rest Querys and examples updated
Original Documentation:
http://blog.gdeltproject.org/announcing-the-gdelt-full-text-search-api/
The gkg fulltext table is filled as followed:
Content to a given topic
For each article, the title, source outlet, date/time converted to the user’s time zone, article language, and source outlet location are displayed.
Rest Query: (example here: in german about Ethiopia)
- Title
- source
- datetime
- country published
- country lang
Sample Data:
Volume for a given topic
Since news volume naturally varies through the course of the day, the Y axis is normalized by dividing the number of matching articles in a given 15 minute increment by the total global volume of coverage monitored by GDELT in that same interval, yielding what amounts to a “global news volume intensity” indicator.
