How the Global News Sentiment Tracker screensaver works
The saver reads a real daily average-tone time series per topic from the GDELT Project's API.
Positive values mean more positive real coverage that day; negative values mean more negative real coverage.
The pipeline refreshes the series regularly as new coverage is analyzed.
No key is required for this key-less public endpoint.
A worked example
A real dip into negative tone for a topic lines up with real coverage of a difficult news day that GDELT's language analysis actually measured.
