# News & TV coverage research (GDELT) Search and chart global news coverage and US television news via the GDELT Project's own indexes — full-text search, sentence-level context search, coverage/tone timelines, and (for TV) transcripts, captions, on-screen text, and computer-vision labels — all as normalized JSON from the Crawlora API, no scraping. ## When to use this skill - "What's the recent news coverage of X?" / "Search global news for X." - "How has coverage of X trended over time?" / "Is coverage of X positive or negative?" (timeline + tone/sentiment). - "What sentences mention X near Y?" (sentence-level co-occurrence, last 72 hours only). - "What did US TV news say/show about X?" (transcripts, captions, on-screen text). - "Which TV stations/shows covered X the most?" / "What's trending on TV right now?" (word cloud, station/show comparisons). - OSINT, media-monitoring, or political/social-science research needing a free, no-auth global news/TV corpus. ## Setup (one-time) - Get a free Crawlora API key (2,000 credits/mo, no card) at [https://crawlora.net](https://crawlora.net?utm_source=github&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=crawlora-skills). - Set `CRAWLORA_API_KEY` in the environment before running the helper. - The helper reads `CRAWLORA_API_KEY` from the environment and sends requests to `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1`. Missing/invalid key → `401`. ## How it works **Web news:** 1. **Search** — `/gdelt/search` (`query`, required; optional `countr
