Web Evidence API – Claim Verification with Cited Sources

Choose this endpoint when you need verifiable, cited, source-backed fact-checking with cryptographic provenance rather than a simple LLM opinion. It is especially valuable when jurisdiction-specific, freshness-constrained, or domain-restricted evidence is required, or when you need conflict detection across sources. Prefer it over generic web search when the output must be auditable and traceable with snapshot hashes.

• Claim text too short (< 3 chars) or too long (> 4000 chars) returns validation error
• Insufficient sources found matching policy returns uncertain status with limitations noted
• Blocked or restricted domains prevent sourcing, reducing evidence quality
• freshnessHours constraint too tight may yield no qualifying sources
• Payment failure via x402/MPP returns 402 before research begins
• Ambiguous claims without enough context may return low-confidence or inconclusive results
