GDELTtools (version 1.7)

Download, Slice, and Normalize GDELT V1 Event and Sentiment API Data

Description

The GDELT V1 Event data set is over 41 GB now and growing 250 MB a month. The number of source articles has increased over time and unevenly across countries. This package makes it easy to download a subset of that data, then normalize that data to facilitate valid time series analysis.
