What's big in the news right now — a curated multi-bucket roll-up (breaking/world/tech/business/politics/science by default, or your own queries) ranked by recent volume, each with a few representative headlines.

Working example
Parameters

Optional custom topic buckets (JSON array or comma string, ≤10). Omit to use the default world roll-up (breaking/world/tech/business/politics/science).

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.

Restrict to a source country (GDELT FIPS country code, e.g. US, UK, FR, IN, BR). Omit for global. For top_headlines this is the Google-News edition.

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