GDELT API endpoint
Use Crawlora's GDELT Television Concept Entities API to extract supported public GDELT data as structured JSON. This page includes request parameters, cURL examples, response schema, error behavior, credit cost, and a Playground link for testing before integration.
/gdelt/tv-concept-entitiesReturn GDELT's own catalog of Google Knowledge Graph concept Developers commonly use this endpoint for data enrichment, monitoring, research dashboards, internal automation, and agent-native workflows that need repeatable structured public web data. Authentication uses the documented Crawlora headers, and usage is metered with the credit cost shown on this page.
Request parameters are generated from the active endpoint catalog. Required values must be sent before Crawlora can call the upstream public web data source.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | No | Maximum entries to return, most-frequent first. Minimum: 1. Maximum: 10000. | ||
| x-api-key (header) | string | Yes | API key required |
curl -X GET "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/gdelt/tv-concept-entities?limit=10" \ -H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY"
Send your scraping API key in the x-api-key header. Use the console API Keys page to rotate or select the active key.
Endpoint usage is metered in credits. The plan prices, included credits, limits, and overage rates below match the active backend billing configuration.
| Plan | Price | Included credits | Daily cap | Rate limit | Overage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 2,000 | 500 daily credits | 5/min | No overage |
| Starter | $9/mo | 20,000 | 5,000 daily credits | 15/min | $0.75/1,000 overage credits when enabled |
| Growth | $29/mo | 100,000 | 25,000 daily credits | 45/min | $0.45/1,000 overage credits when enabled |

This endpoint is executed through Crawlora's managed scraping infrastructure.
- `entities` is query-independent — the same list every call returns, regardless of any other GDELT endpoint's query/station/time-range state. Only `limit` changes what comes back. - `entities[].mid` is the exact string to pass as `concept` on gdelt-tv-search/gdelt-tv-timeline/gdelt-tv-stationchart/gdelt-tv-showchart. `entities[].label` is for display only — GDELT does not accept the label itself as a search value. - `source_url` is the exact upstream GDELT Television 2.0 AI API URL used for the call. - Cached for longer (a few hours) than the rest of this platform, since this is reference data that only shifts as GDELT's own recognized concept vocabulary grows. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "source_url": "https://api.gdeltproject.org/api/v2/tvai/tvai?format=json&mode=capnlpentitydetails&maxrecords=100", "fetched_at": "2026-08-20T10:00:00Z", "entities": [ { "mid": "/m/09c7w0", "label": "U.S." }, { "mid": "/m/0cqt90", "label": "DONALD TRUMP" }, { "mid": "/m/016bvz", "label": "NBC NEWS" } ] } } ```
Crawlora does not silently return bad data when the upstream page cannot be used.
| Status | Common failure case |
|---|---|
| 400 | Invalid input or missing required parameter |
| 429 | Plan or endpoint rate limit exceeded |
| 500 | Internal execution error |
| 502 | Upstream platform failed, returned unusable HTML, or served a challenge page that could not be resolved |
When possible, Crawlora returns structured error context so your integration can retry, back off, or inspect the request.
