Back to GDELT Cloud
Last updated May 23, 2026

Changelog

Product-meaningful changes to the GDELT Cloud platform. Internal fixes and small refactors are tracked in git; this page covers changes integrators may need to know about.

2026-05-23

Google sign-in added. New and returning users can now use the 'Continue with Google' button on the login and signup pages alongside the existing email/password flow.

/data-status V2 API latency chart fixed: query was silently capped by PostgREST max-rows and only rendered the oldest few days in the 30-day window. Now aggregates p50/p95 in Postgres and filters to /api/v2/* API-key traffic specifically.

Subprocessor descriptions clarified: Global Energy Monitor data is loaded offline from GEM, not via BigQuery; LangSmith is primarily our agent runtime host (tracing secondary); OpenAI is used for both LLM completions and embedding generation; Tavily is used for web search and content extraction.

Methodology page latency estimate corrected to ~15 minutes (the duration of the ingest pipeline), down from the earlier ~1 hour figure.

2026-05-22

Trust Center launched. New pages cover security posture, subprocessors, methodology, and this changelog. Privacy policy augmented with explicit AI-training and agent-trace language.

Wikipedia entity fetch timeouts handled more gracefully during entity enrichment runs.

Demo snapshots stabilised: snapshot files now carry a required refreshed_at timestamp; demos directory ignore rule fixed in .gitignore.

Demo pages launched at /demo for product walkthroughs.

2026-05-08

Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and Acceptable Use policy rewritten in plain language and consolidated under a shared Trust Page layout.
