Recent articles from a specific publisher domain (reuters.com, bbc.com, …). Google-News site:<domain> is the reliable primary (near-live, ~100% on-source); GDELT domain:<domain> enriches with direct publisher URLs + tone when its 5s window is free (skipped silently otherwise — never blocks). Source-exact. merge_google_news=false → GDELT-only exact.

Working example
Parameters

A publisher domain (e.g. reuters.com, bbc.com, nytimes.com), full URL, or host. Returns that outlet's recent articles — Google-News `site:` primary (reliable, near-live) + GDELT enrichment when available. Any domain works.

Free-text search across global news. GDELT operators are passed through (e.g. 'tesla OR ford', '"exact phrase"', 'domainis:bbc.com', 'sourcelang:spanish', 'theme:TERROR'). Case-insensitive.

How far back to search (GDELT timespan). Accepts Nh/Nd/Nw/Nm or minute forms like '30min'. Note GDELT covers ~last 3 months; default 1d.

Restrict to a source language (2-letter code → GDELT sourcelang). GDELT indexes 65+ languages; common ones listed. Omit for all languages.

Result ordering (GDELT sort). Ranking is GDELT's own — we add no AI re-rank.

Max articles to fetch per source before de-dup (1-250, default 50). Larger values are clamped to 250 (GDELT ceiling). (1–250)

Also fetch Google-News-RSS for this query and merge+de-dup with GDELT (near-live coverage). Default true. Set false for GDELT-only.

Collapse the same story from many outlets (exact-url + host+path + near-duplicate title clustering). Default true. Survivors carry duplicate_count + also_reported_by[]. Set false for the raw firehose.
