Breaking Headlines Wire Screensaver
The Breaking Headlines Wire screensaver streams real recent news headlines from around the world, from the GDELT Project's news index. It is free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Breaking Headlines Wire screensaver works
The saver reads a real list of recently-seen news articles from the GDELT Project's API.
Each entry shows a real headline, source domain and source country.
The pipeline refreshes the wire regularly as new articles are indexed.
No key is required for this key-less public endpoint.
A worked example
A real headline from a real news domain like a national outlet scrolls past exactly as GDELT indexed it moments earlier.
