The entire quarter-billion-record GDELT Event Database is now available as a public dataset in Google BigQuery.
The GDELT Project pushes the boundaries of “big data,” weighing in at
over a quarter-billion rows with 59 fields for each record, spanning the
geography of the entire planet, and covering a time horizon of more
than 35 years. The GDELT Project is the largest open-access database on
human society in existence. Its archives contain nearly 400M
latitude/longitude geographic coordinates spanning over 12,900 days,
making it one of the largest open-access spatio-temporal datasets as
well.We automatically update the public dataset copy of GDELT in BigQuery
every morning by 5AM ET, so you don’t even have to worry about updates –
the BigQuery copy always has the latest global events. In a few weeks
when GDELT unveils its move from daily updates to updating every 15
minutes, we’ll be taking advantage of BigQuery’s new stream updating
capability to ensure the data reflects the state of the world
moment-by-moment.
