Omniscient AI Is Now an API-First Platform
Since launching as a Chrome Extension, Omniscient AI has grown into the world's most advanced triple-AI fact-checking platform. Today, we're taking the next step: Enterprise API v1 — a clean, credit-based REST interface that brings our ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini consensus engine to any application, pipeline, or workflow.
From this moment, fact-checking at scale is a single HTTP call.
What's New: The v1 Endpoint
The core of the release is POST /api/v1/factcheck. Send any text claim up to 8,000 characters. All three AI models run in parallel. You get back a consensus verdict, a fact score, evidence summary, and live citations — within seconds.
curl -X POST https://omniscient.news/api/v1/factcheck \
-H "X-Omniscient-Key: omni_YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"text": "The James Webb Space Telescope launched in December 2021.", "lang": "en"}'
The response includes a verdict (SUPPORTED, DISPUTED, MIXED, INSUFFICIENT_EVIDENCE, or NOT_APPLICABLE), a fact_score from 0–100, a consensus_level showing whether all three models agreed, and citations from the real sources each model used.
Authentication uses the X-Omniscient-Key header with keys generated in your Dashboard. Each call costs 1 credit. Use GET /api/v1/me to check your credit balance at any time.
Webhook Support for Async Pipelines
For pipeline integrations where you don't want to block on the HTTP response, include a webhook_url in the request body. The fact-check result is delivered to your endpoint immediately after completion — no polling required. The webhook body wraps the standard response in an event envelope with "event": "fact_check.complete".
OBS Live Fact-Check Overlay
Live streamers and journalists can now add real-time fact-checking directly to their OBS broadcasts. Visit /obs-overlay?config=1 to generate a personalised browser source URL. Add it to OBS as a browser source (1920×1080), allow microphone access, and Omniscient AI will transcribe your audio, identify factual claims, and display a transparent verdict bar on-screen — typically within 3–5 seconds of a claim being spoken.
The overlay handles reconnection automatically, so it stays live for the full duration of your stream. The verdict bar auto-hides after a configurable number of seconds to keep your layout clean.
WordPress Plugin
The Omniscient AI Fact Checker plugin is now available for download from your API settings. Install it on any WordPress site, enter your API key in Settings → Omniscient AI, and use the [omniscient_factcheck] shortcode anywhere in a post or page.
The widget gives readers two ways to verify claims: highlight any text on the page (the widget auto-populates the input), or click the microphone button and speak a claim directly. The triple-AI verdict appears instantly below the input, with source citations. The plugin supports 12 languages and both dark and light themes.
Built for Scale
The v1 API is credit-based, with credits purchased in the Dashboard and never expiring. There are no monthly minimum commitments and no rate limit surprises — credits are deducted per successful call, with immediate failure responses (HTTP 402) when credits run low so your pipeline can handle errors gracefully.
For teams building high-volume integrations — automated newsroom pipelines, AI agent output verification, content compliance checks — bulk credit pricing is available at omniscient.news/api-plans.

Complete API reference, curl examples, response schemas, error codes, and integration guides are in the Developer Documentation. The OBS configuration wizard and WordPress plugin download are both accessible directly from the docs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Each successful call to POST /api/v1/factcheck deducts 1 credit from your balance. Credits are purchased in the Dashboard and never expire. If a call fails at the authentication or validation stage (before the AI models run), no credit is deducted.
Yes. The OBS browser source is platform-agnostic — it works with any stream destination (YouTube, Twitch, X, LinkedIn Live). It requires OBS Studio v28 or later with browser source microphone access enabled.
The plugin itself is free to download and install. Fact-checks on your WordPress site are billed against your Omniscient AI credit balance at 1 credit per check. Credits are purchased once and shared across all integrations — Chrome Extension, API, OBS, and WordPress.
Absolutely. The Enterprise API v1 is a standalone product. No extension is required. Any application that can make HTTP requests can integrate with Omniscient AI.
