get_trending
What's surging in global news right now: topics whose coverage is ≥2 standard deviations above their trailing average (z-score), the biggest week-over-week movers, and surging countries. Derived every 3 hours from GDELT across 65+ languages.
get_topic
Live media-coverage statistics for one geopolitical topic (e.g. 'ukraine-war', 'taiwan-strait', 'sanctions'): daily volume and tone series, z-score, week-over-week change, and a sample of recent articles (headline+link only). Returns the latest 30 days by default; pass response_format='detailed' for the full 90. Use search_topics to find slugs.
get_country
Live media-coverage statistics for one country by ISO-3166 alpha-2 code (e.g. 'ua', 'cn'): daily series (latest 30 days by default; response_format='detailed' for 90) of coverage volume (share of world news coverage that is about that country) and tone, plus armed-conflict fatalities (UCDP, trailing 12 months), displacement stocks (UNHCR: IDPs, refugees, asylum seekers), and coverage origin (what share of coverage about the country is produced by its own outlets vs abroad).
get_relation
Bilateral co-coverage signal for a monitored country pair (e.g. a='cn', b='us'): how much the world's press mentions the two countries together, and in what tone. ~50 strategic pairs are monitored.
search_topics
Search Geotone's tracked geopolitical topics by keyword (matches name, slug, and description). Returns slugs usable with get_topic, plus each topic's current coverage stats.
get_briefing
Geotone's daily global risk briefing for a date (YYYY-MM-DD): an analytical summary of coverage surges, tone shifts, and notable movers, with the statistics behind each claim.
get_outbreaks
Disease outbreak events indexed from the WHO Disease Outbreak News (facts and links; WHO's assessments live at the linked pages), each with Geotone's measured news attention: articles carrying the disease in GDELT's thematic tagging across all languages, trailing 14 days vs the prior 14. status 'active' means a WHO update within 90 days; outbreaks are never marked ended by feed disappearance. DON covers internationally significant events and is not exhaustive — absence here is not absence of disease.
get_wire
The live wire: the world's most significant stories right now, ranked by a published formula (authority-weighted outlet breadth, boosted by consequence themes, coded events, and casualty figures, decayed by recency over 72h). Each story carries one representative link, outlet count, tone, countries, non-English source languages that also reported the event, and a chain_id when it belongs to a multi-day story timeline (fetch with get_story_chain). Reclustered every 3 hours.
get_story_chain
A story timeline: the threaded developments of one multi-day event chain, oldest first (e.g. attack → casualties confirmed → international reaction). Use the chain_id values returned by get_wire. Each development is a headline + link + outlet count + tone.
