📖 Usage
Command Line Interface
# Check a single claim
factcheckr "The Earth is round"
# Interactive mode
factcheckr --interactive
# Check from stdin
echo "Water boils at 100°C" | factcheckr --stdin
# JSON output
factcheckr "Cats have 9 lives" --json
# Show version
factcheckr --version
Python API
from factcheckr import FactCheckr
# Initialize the fact checker
fc = FactCheckr()
# Check a single claim
result = fc.fact_check("The Earth is flat")
print(f"Verdict: {result['verdict']}")
print(f"Confidence: {result['confidence']}")
print(f"Evidence: {result['evidence']}")
# Extract and check claims from text
text = "The sky is blue. Cats have 6 legs. Water boils at 100°C."
claims = fc.extract_claims(text)
for claim in claims:
result = fc.fact_check(claim)
print(f"{claim}: {result['verdict']} ({result['confidence']:.2f})")
Batch Processing
from factcheckr import FactCheckr
fc = FactCheckr()
claims = [
"The Earth is round",
"Cats have 9 lives",
"Python is a programming language"
]
for claim in claims:
result = fc.fact_check(claim)
print(f"{claim}: {result['verdict']} ({result['confidence']:.2f})")
📊 Example Output
$ factcheckr "Humans can fly"
Claim: "Humans can fly"
Verdict: False
Confidence: 0.95
Evidence: Humans cannot fly naturally without mechanical assistance. While humans have developed various flying machines and technologies, the human body lacks the necessary biological adaptations for flight, such as wings, hollow bones, and the required muscle structure.
$ factcheckr "Water boils at 100°C at sea level" --json
{
"claim": "Water boils at 100°C at sea level",
"verdict": "True",
"confidence": 0.98,
"evidence": "Water boils at 100°C (212°F) at standard atmospheric pressure (sea level). This is a well-established scientific fact."
}
