Workflows for platforms, newsrooms, and research labs to spot misinformation patterns and coordinated narratives.

- **Platforms — Coordinated narrative detection:** Identify clusters of near-duplicate articles spreading the same claim across low-authority sources within a short window.
- **Fact-check — Claim-velocity tracking:** Measure how fast a specific claim propagates across the source ecosystem; flag exponential spread as a triage signal.
- **Newsrooms — Verification triage:** Surface conflicting reports on the same event across publishers to give editors a fast read on what is and isn't confirmed.
- **Research — Disinformation campaign mapping:** Build longitudinal datasets of suspected influence operations using source, entity, and time-based filters.

## FAQ
### How does your API help identify fake news and misinformation?

Our API provides multiple verification signals including publisher authority rankings (OPR scores), source credibility metrics, duplicate detection to identify content recycling, and original source attribution. These tools help you filter unreliable sources and focus on verified journalism.

### What is the OPR (Online Publisher Rank) score?

OPR is our proprietary publisher authority metric scored 1-10, based on factors like editorial standards, fact-checking history, domain authority, and journalistic reputation. Higher scores indicate more trustworthy sources, helping you automatically filter out low-quality or unreliable publishers.

### Can I filter news to show only verified mainstream sources?

Yes, use the source.rank.opr.min filter to show only articles from publishers above your chosen trust threshold. Setting OPR minimum to 7+ limits results to major established news organizations with strong editorial standards.

### How does duplicate detection help prevent manipulation?

Our duplicate detection identifies when the same content is republished across multiple sites, a common tactic in coordinated disinformation campaigns. Filter to is_duplicate=0 to see only original reporting and avoid amplified manipulative content.

### Can I identify the original source of a news story?

Yes, our story clustering feature groups related articles and identifies the original breaking source. This helps you trace news back to primary sources rather than aggregators or sites that repackage content without attribution.

### How do you handle breaking news verification?

For breaking news, we recommend combining is_breaking=1 with high OPR thresholds to get fast coverage from reliable sources. This balances speed with accuracy, reducing exposure to unverified early reports that often spread misinformation.

### Can I detect coordinated news manipulation campaigns?

By analyzing publication patterns, source relationships, and content similarity across our database, you can identify suspicious coordination. Sudden spikes in similar content from low-authority sources often indicate manipulation attempts.

### How can media literacy organizations use your API?

Fact-checkers, researchers, and media literacy educators use our API to study misinformation patterns, build verification tools, and create educational resources. Academic and non-profit pricing is available for qualifying organizations.
