Input

The input form is defined in .actor/input_schema.json. API key fields, where present, use Apify isSecret: true.

The Master Aggregator can run both free/open sources and premium API sources. GDELT Cloud and premium sources require BYOK secret inputs.

Bring Your Own API Key (BYOK)

This Actor does not include third-party API credits. If you enable premium sources such as GDELT Cloud, NewsAPI, Mediastack, NewsData.io, or Event Registry, you must provide your own API key.

You are responsible for any third-party API usage fees. This Actor charges only for data processing, normalization, deduplication, enrichment, and Apify dataset/report generation.

GDELT Cloud

When sourcePlatforms includes gdelt, provide gdeltCloudApiKey and choose gdeltContentTypes:

• stories
• events
• entities
• all

Selecting multiple content types creates a mixed output. GDELT Cloud items include contentType, gdeltCloudId, significance, and articleCount when available.

Output

Each dataset item follows the normalized Global News Intelligence article shape:

• sourcePlatform
• sourceName
• title
• url
• publishedAt
• description
• content
• author
• imageUrl
• country
• language
• category
• keywords
• sentiment
• entities
• contentType
• gdeltCloudId
• significance
• articleCount
• raw

The key-value store record SUMMARY contains counts by source, publisher, country, language, category, sentiment, and date.

Local run

$apify run

For premium BYOK actors, fill the required secret input in Apify before running against the provider. Do not place real API keys in source code, README examples, GitHub, public Apify examples, logs, or dataset output.
