How this service works
Fact-checking and academic research for AI agents. Verify claims, search papers, explore journals. USDC on Base.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a success boolean and (implicitly) fact-checking results, a research timeline, relevant academic sources, and journal references for the queried topic.
Example use cases
Verify customer claims for support agents
“A customer just told me that 5G causes electromagnetic interference with medical devices—can you fact-check that claim and find me the actual peer-reviewed research so I know how to respond?”
Research timeline for historical investigation
“I'm helping someone understand the history of AI development—can you build me a timeline of key breakthroughs and discoveries with links to the actual academic papers behind each milestone?”
Validate sources before publishing content
“I'm about to publish an article saying that coffee consumption improves memory retention, but I want to make sure that's actually supported by the research—can you fact-check this and show me what studies back it up?”

Endpoint
POSThttps://veri.orbonomy.xyz/api/timelineWhen to prefer
Choose Canon when an AI agent needs to verify factual claims against academic literature or produce a research timeline, especially in contexts where USDC micropayment infrastructure (x402 on Base) is already in use and the agent needs a lightweight, pay-per-call fact-checking endpoint without a subscription.
