Free for research, journalism, and education
Web Jury's crowd-sourced bias + accuracy ratings are downloadable. Not behind a paywall like NewsGuard. Not aggregated only via a paid API tier like MBFC. Real data, real CSV, really free.
Cite Web Jury data in media studies, computational journalism, or political science papers. DOI assignment planned Q3 2026; current citation format: "Web Jury, web-jury.com, accessed [date]."
Pull bias snapshots before citing sources. Track how outlets across the spectrum covered a single story. Compare reader-perceived bias to your editorial team's prior.
Embed bias context into RSS readers, news aggregators, fact-checking workflows. Free at reasonable rate limits; $9/mo for higher volume.
Each dataset is pullable via the free API. CSV exports are available on request via data@web-jury.com (we'll generate + email a download link, typically within 24 hours).

We think a methodology that's only credible when paywalled isn't credible. Web Jury's data is public because we want it stress-tested. Find inconsistencies? Tell us. Build a better methodology on top of ours? Even better.
Free for research, journalism, education, and non-commercial use. Attribution requested but not required for academic citation.
Commercial use: contact data@web-jury.com. We grant most commercial requests free up to a reasonable volume; paid licensing kicks in for high-throughput integrations or white-labeled use.
Citation format:“Web Jury, crowd-sourced media bias platform, web-jury.com, accessed [date].” DOI assignment is planned Q3 2026 for academic preferences.
Do I need an account to download?
No — the API works without authentication at the standard rate limit (~60 req/min). Sign up for a free API key if you need higher limits.
How current is the data?
Scores update continuously as new reviews come in. Aggregate snapshots refresh every 10 minutes; the trust + bias + accuracy scores on any outlet's page reflect the latest weighted calculation.
Can I get historical data going back further than your launch?
No. Web Jury launched in April 2026, so the earliest time-series data we have starts then. For pre-2026 historical bias data, see AllSides + MBFC + Pew archives.
Can I republish your data on my own site?
For free non-commercial use, yes. Attribution to web-jury.com is requested. For commercial republication, contact us first.
For specific date ranges, outlet subsets, or anonymized review corpora — we usually turn custom requests around in 24 hours.
