GET
Read a retained Situation brief

Authorizations

Authorization
string
header
required

GDELT Cloud API key. Send as Authorization: Bearer gdelt_sk_....

Path Parameters

story_id
string
required

A stored Situation UID (sit_…). Published as story_id for path compatibility with /api/v2/situations/{story_id}, which accepts either; the member lists accept only the UID — a Story id is refused.

Query Parameters

edition_id
string

Pin a retained edition. Mutually exclusive with as_of. Note: validation is owned by the endpoint service because it depends on composed or cross-parameter state; the published error semantics above still apply.

as_of
string

Latest edition published at or before this UTC ISO timestamp. No reconstruction before retention began. Note: validation is owned by the endpoint service because it depends on composed or cross-parameter state; the published error semantics above still apply.

level
string

Progressive detail level: brief (default), structure, context. Note: validation is owned by the endpoint service because it depends on composed or cross-parameter state; the published error semantics above still apply.
