GDELT turns news coverage into structured event and knowledge-graph records, with downloadable data and analysis tools. It can help researchers find reporting patterns, locations and related entities around a geopolitical market question. Its output reflects what media report and how automated systems classify it. A spike in coverage is not a verified event count, and a coded event is not by itself a settlement source. ### Who it is for - OSINT researchers following geopolitical narratives - Developers building news-monitoring and event-analysis pipelines ## Features and coverage **Available on:** Web, Datasets, BigQuery - **Event records** Explore structured actors, actions and geographic context extracted from news. - **Knowledge graph** Research entities, themes and relationships in media coverage. - **Data access options** Use analysis tools, raw downloads or the documented BigQuery datasets. ## Workflows with GDELT ### Investigate a news pattern Filter to a topic, location and time window, then inspect the original articles behind relevant records. ### Build a monitoring baseline Compare coverage using consistent queries and sources before interpreting a sudden increase. ## Pricing and total cost GDELT describes its database and public analysis service as free and open.
