Free media-bias API
Crowd-sourced bias + accuracy ratings for thousands of news outlets, journalists, and creators.
AllSides has no public API. NewsGuard is enterprise-only. MBFC charges. We're free at reasonable rate limits — used by researchers, fact-checkers, and apps that need a credibility prior.
Get StartedResearchers
Pull bias + accuracy time-series for hundreds of outlets in one request. CSV export available. Cite Web Jury data in papers (DOI assignment in Q3 2026).
Journalists
Look up an outlet's rating before citing it. Compare how a story's sources rate across the bias spectrum. Trace bias-history changes over time.
Apps
Embed bias context in news-aggregator apps, browser extensions, RSS readers, fact-checking workflows. Free embeddable badges available at /trust-badge.
