CaptainFact API is the backend service for CaptainFact.io, a platform that enables collaborative fact-checking of videos through community-sourced annotations. It processes and serves data for videos, speakers, claims, sources, and discussions, structuring debates around evidence. The API powers both the web platform and browser extensions that overlay fact-checks directly onto video players.
Developers and organizations building or integrating collaborative fact-checking tools, media literacy platforms, or transparent discussion systems around video content. It's also for communities seeking to self-host a verifiable annotation platform.
It provides a fully open-source, self-hostable backend with dual REST and GraphQL APIs, real-time capabilities via WebSockets, and a modular Elixir umbrella architecture. Unlike proprietary fact-checking services, it emphasizes transparency, community governance, and data ownership.
