Features

geoprotests API

Query protests worldwide and visualize them using spatial aggregations.

geofires API

Query wildfires worldwide and visualize them using spatial aggregations.

geojoins API

Ready to use

The geoprotests and geofires services offer ready-to-use geospatial features representing broadcasted news related to various themes. You can use these geospatial features to build various mapping and geospatial applications. The underlying serverless cloud-backend analyses raw geospatial locations of news articles provided by the Global Database of Events, Language and Tone (GDELT) Project (https://www.gdeltproject.org/).

Every geospatial result support the GeoJSON and Esri FeatureSet format out of the box. All endpoints support a date parameter for filtering the geospatial features. For best sustainability, the serverless cloud-backend queries the articles from the knowledge graph and calculates the geospatial features on-the-fly.
