Data and API
The record is open
Every verified claim is available as a free, read-only API and an open dataset. It is served from this site's own cache, so you can use it freely without loading the verification pipeline. 70 cases are on record right now.
API

GET
/api/casesRecent cases. Filter by verdict, claim_type, distortion, confidence; page with limit and offset.GET
/api/cases/:idOne full case, including the traced source chain.GET
/api/search?q=Search by keyword, or paste a link to see if a post has been checked.Example: /api/cases?limit=5
Limits: 120 search requests a minute per address, and a query of at most 2048 characters. Past either you get a JSON error with status 429 or 400, and 429 carries Retry-After. The other endpoints are not rate limited.

Terms, briefly
- Free to use, including commercially, with attribution to TrueSeeker.
- Cases are immutable and versioned; the dataset always reflects the current version and excludes withdrawn cases.
- Internal fields (cost, review flags) are never exposed. Nothing here can influence a verdict.
- Please cache rather than polling in a tight loop. There is no rate limit today; be considerate so there need not be one.
