NEWS X402 · POWERED BY GDELT

Give your agent company news it can cite.

Get source headlines, links, media tone and coverage context in one structured response. Built for company research and OSINT workflows.

$0.01 USDC per successful brief. Base network. No service API key or subscription. An x402-compatible wallet client is required.

Source-based research, not trading predictions. Examples are illustrative; live results depend on available news.

One request. Evidence your workflow can use.

Research a company

Retrieve earnings and regulatory coverage with links your agent can include in its research notes.

Check the coverage

See source diversity, publisher countries, languages and media tone for a topic.

Build a recurring briefing

Call from your own scheduled workflow. Each successful request is billed separately; scheduling and change detection belong to your agent.

Connect in three steps

  1. Inspect the free illustrative response and agent guide.
  2. Use an x402 v2 client with a Base USDC wallet. Set a maximum payment of 0.01 USDC for a brief.
  3. Request a topic, inspect HTTP 402 payment requirements, then let the client sign and retry the same request.

This command only inspects payment requirements. It does not pay:

curl -i 'https://news-x402.com/news/brief?query=NVIDIA%20earnings&audience=markets&timespan=24h&limit=5'

OpenClaw: use the integration guide with your existing wallet-capable client. Plain HTTP fetching cannot complete payment. End-to-end payment through OpenClaw has not yet been verified for this release.

Know what the data means

Developments are attributed headlines, not independently verified events or full-article summaries. GDELT is a free source; the fee covers this API’s aggregation and delivery.

Brief coverage is sampled from at most 100 articles. Publisher country is not event location. Media tone is not investment advice. first_seen_at records GDELT discovery time; published_at is unknown and returns null. Data may be delayed and requests may return no matching articles.

Invalid inputs are rejected before payment. Upstream failures are not settled. A successful response with no matching articles is still a paid request.

Why this wrapper

GDELT is a free, well-known public source — but querying it raw is painful for AI agents. Here's what we add:

Raw GDELTThis API
GDELT discovery timestampExplicit first_seen_at; publication time is unknown (published_at: null)
7+ raw modes to learn (artlist, timelinetone, pointdata…)6 task-oriented endpoints, including a decision-ready market/OSINT brief
Multi-step research and repeated source parsingParallel aggregation, deduplication, caching, source diversity, risk flags, and citations
Transient throttling and opaque failuresTimeouts, retry, short-lived cache, and explicit non-settled upstream errors
GEO 2.0 API discontinued — calls failReplaced with article-source-country aggregation — works reliably
API keys, IP whitelist for scalex402 — sign once with your wallet, done

Endpoints

EndpointDescriptionPrice
GET /news/briefDecision-ready brief for market and OSINT agents$0.01

How to use

Each endpoint requires an x402 payment in USDC on Base mainnet. Send a request without payment to receive HTTP 402 with the payment requirements in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED response header. Sign the authorization and retry with the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header to receive the JSON response.

Settlement is handled by the Coinbase CDP facilitator.
