Returns aggregated totals + bucketed counts with latent attribute averages for CAMEO+ coded events. Designed as the ‘broad and shallow’ layer — understand event intensity and domain activity before drilling into individual events via /api/v1/cameoplus-events.
Progressive disclosure example:
summary?days=7&group_by=domain → which domains are most active?summary?domain=ECONOMIC&days=7&group_by=country → where are economic events?/cameoplus-events?domain=ECONOMIC&country=USA → individual eventsEach bucket includes avg/max magnitude, market_sensitivity, systemic_importance, and propagation_potential. Historical queries are cached for 24 hours. Live queries cached until 7 minutes past next UTC hour.
API key format: gdelt_sk_<64-hex-chars>. Generate in Dashboard → Settings → API Keys.
Dimension to group results by. domain (default): one bucket per CAMEO+ domain. date: one bucket per day (ascending). country: one bucket per country. event_code: one bucket per specific event code.
date, country, domain, event_code Lookback window in days from date. Default 7, max 90.
1 <= x <= 90Anchor/end date (YYYY-MM-DD). Defaults to today UTC.
"2026-03-10"
Filter to a specific CAMEO+ domain.
POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, CORPORATE, TECHNOLOGY, INFRASTRUCTURE, ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH, DEMOGRAPHIC, INFORMATION Filter by event code (exact) or domain prefix (e.g. 'EC02' for Monetary Policy only; 'EC' for all ECONOMIC codes). Most useful when combined with group_by=event_code to see a breakdown by code, or with domain filter to drill into a specific sub-type. All valid codes: EC01–EC07, CO01–CO08, TE01–TE06, IN01–IN06, EN01–EN05, HE01–HE05, DE01–DE05, IF01–IF04. POLITICAL uses standard CAMEO 2-digit codes (01–17).
"EC02"
Filter to a specific ISO-3 country code.
"USA"
Filter to a geographic region. Expands to the corresponding list of ISO-3 country codes. Only one region may be specified per request.
Western Africa, Middle East, Eastern Africa, Southern Asia, East Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America & Caribbean, South-Eastern Asia, Northern America, Western Europe, Central Asia, Oceania, Middle Africa, Northern Africa, Southern Africa, Caribbean, Central America First-level administrative division (state, province, region) as stored in GDELT. Must be used with country. Use the full official name. Examples: 'California' (USA), 'Bavaria' (Germany), 'São Paulo' (Brazil), 'Guangdong' (China), 'Île-de-France' (France), 'New South Wales' (Australia), 'Uttar Pradesh' (India).
