VeriLens API Overview
Welcome to the VeriLens API Developer Documentation. Integrate AI-driven misinformation and hoax detection into your platform.
What is VeriLens?
VeriLens is a next-generation AI-powered information verification platform. We analyze claims, retrieve verifiable context from across the web, evaluate source credibility, and output structured verdicts that apps can easily ingest. By offering a unified interface, developers can filter out hoaks, verify news screenshots via OCR, and run fact-checks instantly within news portals, social media widgets, education tools, and browser extensions.
The Integration Flow
VeriLens works by extracting claim parameters (text, context, or images) from the client application, running them against our multi-layered detection engines (including specialized classifier models and Large Language Models), and returning high-confidence structured verdicts. The pipeline operates as follows:

Responsible AI & Limitations
AI-powered checks evaluate semantic patterns, metadata, and web retrieval databases to score credibility. They are intended as supportive evaluation tools and do not substitute human judgment or legal verification.
