​
Submit one claim at a time

The API verifies a single claim per request. For multiple claims, send them as separate requests. 
# Good, one specific claim
{"claim": "The global average temperature has risen by 1.1°C since pre-industrial times."}

# Avoid, multiple claims in one request
{"claim": "Temperature has risen 1.1°C and CO2 levels are at record highs."}

​
Be specific and factual

Vague or opinionated statements produce lower confidence scores. Frame the claim as a concrete, verifiable statement. 
# Good, specific and verifiable
{"claim": "Apple became the first US company to reach a $3 trillion market cap in 2022."}

# Avoid, too vague
{"claim": "Apple is very successful."}

​
Use confidence score as a filter

A confidence below 0.5 means the evidence is insufficient. Treat these as UNCERTAIN regardless of the verdict label. 
{
  "verdict": "TRUE",
  "confidence": 0.3
}
A confidence of 0.3 above should be surfaced to users as UNCERTAIN, not TRUE.

​
Expected response time

The endpoint performs a database search and an AI inference step. Expect 4–7 seconds per request depending on the number of related items found.

​
Combine with Evidence Finder

After receiving a verdict, use Evidence Finder to surface broader supporting sources beyond what Factagora has indexed. 
Fact Checker → verdict → Evidence Finder (for additional supporting sources)
