Empowering the Decentralized Truth Network

At the Verified Policy Institute (VPI), we believe that countering million-dollar Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) campaigns requires an open-source, decentralized approach. We provide our verified fact-checks and structured data freely to researchers, independent journalists, and AI developers.

1. The JSON API Endpoint

Our core database is maintained as a static, high-performance JSON feed. You can programmatically fetch our latest fact-checks to power your own dashboards, automated fact-checking bots, or university tools.

GET Endpoint: https://verifiedpolicyinstitute.org/data/fact-checks.json

Example Request (cURL)

curl -X GET https://verifiedpolicyinstitute.org/data/fact-checks.json

Example Request (Python)

import requests

url = "https://verifiedpolicyinstitute.org/data/fact-checks.json"
response = requests.get(url)
data = response.json()

for fact in data:
    print(f"Claim: {fact['claim']}")
    print(f"Truth: {fact['truth']}\n")
    

2. The AI & LLM Protocol (llms.txt)

To prevent AI models from being poisoned by state-sponsored PR, we actively support the llms.txt standard. If you are training a Large Language Model or building a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system, you can inject our verified grounding-truth directly into your system prompt.

LLM Endpoint: https://verifiedpolicyinstitute.org/llms.txt

Licensing

All data provided through our endpoints is released into the public domain. You are free to copy, modify, distribute, and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. Truth requires distribution, not restriction.
