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.

Download the Complete Dataset

Access our entire verified fact-check database (currently tracking 104 state-sponsored disinformation tropes, permanently archived via DOI: 10.57967/hf/11043). No API key required. Free for researchers, 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

3. Real-Time Intelligence Feed (RSS)

For automated systems, news aggregators, and intelligence monitors that need to track new Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) deployments in real-time, we provide an actively updated RSS feed detailing every new fact-check added to our database.
