FAQ from GDELT Global Events

What data source does the server use?

It uses the GDELT 2.0 Project free public API. The server is a thin transport, auth, and caching layer over that upstream source.

What runtime and storage does the server require?

The server runs on Cloudflare Workers (V8 isolates, global edge) and uses two Cloudflare KV namespaces for cache and usage data.

How are API keys obtained and what data is stored?

Keys are obtained via Dodo Payments checkout. Only your email, the minted API key, monthly call counters, and Dodo subscription metadata are stored. Tool arguments and upstream responses are not logged beyond short cache TTLs.

What are the pricing and rate limits?

Free: $0, 100 calls/month, 10/min. Solo: $9/mo, 2,000 calls, 60/min. Team: $29/mo, 10,000 calls, 200/min, 5 seats. Pro: $79/mo, 50,000 calls, 600/min, 25 seats.

What transport and authentication are supported?

Transport is HTTP POST with JSON‑RPC 2.0. Authentication is via a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Anonymous callers can use the free tier (100 calls/month/IP) without a key.
