What it is
FAXTR is a fact-checking platform for reviewing claims, headlines, articles, article URLs, and LLM-generated text. It aggregates verdicts from more than 100 fact-checking organizations across more than 50 countries, rather than making its own final judgment on whether a claim is true or false. Visitors can make three checks without signing up; signing up provides more checks and history. FAXTR says it gathers data from the Google Fact Check Tools API and Google News RSS three times daily. For integrations, it offers a REST API with JSON responses at https://api.faxtr.com/v1. Verification endpoints are in private beta and require access; the API also includes a /v1/guard endpoint for scanning LLM responses for misinformation. FAXTR Verified records source and receipt details, source-text and debunk matches, and a published SHA-256 fingerprint of an article body. Publishers add it with one server-rendered link per article, without JavaScript or a runtime dependency on FAXTR. The Free plan is free, billed monthly; Starter is $49 a month.
