GDELT Cloud Stories and NewsAPI Events are multilingual clusters. Trend counts use Stories versus articles. Coverage and cluster membership differ; NewsAPI also returns article bodies.

SELECTED HEAD-TO-HEAD RESULTS

Same jobs. Concrete differences.

Task 01

Follow a Thai energy investment

GDELT Cloud
PTTEP’s Bussabong decision as a typed development with actors, geography and evidence.
NewsAPI.ai
Reporting on the same decision, with article text and a linked cluster.
What this enables

Use the development as an application record, then follow its reporting for detail.

View the source
Task 02

Find a smaller company: Dinto Solar

GDELT Cloud · entity searchA reusable local identity1 matching Story · no linked coded Event in the tested week
GDELT Cloud
Resolved Dinto Solar to a local entity ID and retrieved its reporting as a Story.
NewsAPI.ai
Name search found two articles; typed mentions recovered party names. No matching concept or event cluster was found in these queries.
What this enables

A company can be searchable before it has a Wikipedia identity. Keep its reporting even when no Event is coded.

Explore the endpoints
Task 03

Resolve a power station, not just its place name

GDELT Cloud · Bang Pakong5 generating unitsTyped facility identity · EGAT owner · unit capacities
GDELT Cloud
Facility search distinguishes candidate sites; the selected station opens its coordinates, units and ownership.
NewsAPI.ai
A Bang Pakong geographical concept supports news search. The tested responses did not supply the power station’s asset registry.
What this enables

Move from a name in the news to a specific physical asset and its owner.

Task scope & interpretation

Reporting exercises used September 19–25, 2026. These are selected observed outputs, not product-wide accuracy or recall scores. Each service used native queries and refinements.

PTTEP reporting concerns the same development across services. NewsAPI event clusters correspond most closely to GDELT Cloud Stories; its separate Mentions API returns typed relationships and evidence sentences. Dinto’s five typed mentions were observed in the earlier same-week exercise; the final follow-up returned two articles and no cluster. GDELT Cloud’s Dinto identity is local, not a Wikipedia ID. For NVIDIA, NewsAPI’s canonical concept and five-language alias union returned the same first page; GDELT Cloud’s general entity filter includes contextual coverage, not only Events where that company is a direct actor. These tests do not establish an entity-search accuracy winner.

Which services returned these selected developments?

These six examples were selected from GDELT Cloud results. “Found” means the same development was located in the tested queries; “Related report” describes another action in the same dispute. “Not located” does not establish absence from a provider’s corpus.

We chose Lyon, Durban, Recife, Surabaya, Pune and Winnipeg before retrieval. GDELT Cloud used 50-km Event queries, surrounding Story bounding boxes and city-name Story searches. All seven requested dates had complete serving evidence. These selected examples demonstrate local reporting; they do not measure worldwide recall or street-level coordinate accuracy. A city centroid can represent a broader reported location.

Bigdata used resolved place entities and targeted news searches. NewsAPI.ai used occurrence-location filters, with a separate place-concept refinement where needed; publisher location is a different filter. Document publication dates, cluster dates and Event action dates differ, as do native geographic boundaries. Returned documents, articles, clusters and coded Events are different units. Seerist was reviewed through public documentation only.

The international example uses three separate native Story records for the same reported development, not a single merged cluster. Source language does not establish publisher country or independent corroboration. Display headlines are concise editorial labels; the native fields below retain the returned wording.

Selected fields from saved GDELT Cloud API responses. Tone is entity-conditioned, not whole-article sentiment. The news tone result contains 63 scored Stories from 106 candidates; language scores describe evidence within that scored subset, not all reporting in each language. A Story can carry evidence in several languages. Unknown language is excluded from the displayed language count. Share of voice uses a separate TECHNOLOGY-filtered canonical Story denominator for September 22.

Political offices and other context are separate documented endpoints, not fields demonstrated by this NVIDIA tone response. Paid plans include these data families; additional reads use the shared QU allowance.

Event dates and Story reporting dates have different meanings. Country filter includes location or actor origin. Actual saved GDELT Cloud results. Both requests served all seven dates. Counts describe each endpoint’s own records; they are not a count of independently verified incidents. Selected response fields below.

How we compared · sources & evaluation scope

Selected workflows, real retrieval.

We publish this comparison as GDELT Cloud. We selected workflows relevant to builders, including our strengths, competitor-native jobs and possible complementary uses. Product-fit takeaways are our editorial conclusions.

Bigdata.com and NewsAPI.ai were evaluated through their APIs. The shared task period was September 19–25, 2026. Query clocks, geographical filters and returned units differ. We tested native search, document and cluster retrieval, typed annotations and mentions, financial data, connected reference data and summary analytics. Seerist was reviewed through public documentation only. We make no product-wide accuracy, recall or latency ranking.

Visual GDELT Cloud examples are selected records from separately saved API captures, with each exhibit’s own dates displayed. Reporting dates were fully admitted by the serving layer. That confirms retrieval coverage, not the factual accuracy of every source. Publication-inferred dates are identified on the record.

Prices and documentation were checked on 2026-09-26; GDELT Cloud plan values use the current public catalog. Query Units, document tokens and NewsAPI tokens are different billing units. Company filings and infrastructure have independent dates; proximity and a shared company or country do not prove financial or operational impact.

Fictional output illustrations use inspected native response structures; they are separate from the measured findings and saved GDELT Cloud examples. Table values link directly to supporting documentation. API examples link their reporting evidence. NewsAPI.ai / Event Registry is a different service from NewsAPI.org.
