Facto

It is a news search engine.

How to use

If you have some information with you that you want to confirm, write( or paste ) the data on the textarea and click the submit button. After some time, all the relevant articles from different media sources, will be shown. Now, have a look at those articles, go through them, and check if the information is valid or not.

How it works

The frontend of Facto doesn't directly make the GET or POST request to elastic search api. Instead, when you click the submit button, it makes a POST request to the backend Facto server, the server then makes a GET request to elastic cloud facto search engine( with all the credentials ) and fetch the relevant response.

Limitations

Facto depends on the news API provided by newsapi.org. Unfortunately, the free developer plan of newsapi allows to use the API from localhost only. So, in order to make Facto work you also need to have the Facto server running on your device. Again, for the limited plan, we couldn't have a good amount of news articles available to the elastic search database, reducing the efficiency of this Web App.
