# Jina Fact Checker

Blocks for verifying statement factuality using Jina AI's Grounding API.

## Fact Checker

### What it is

This block checks the factuality of a given statement using Jina AI's Grounding API.

### How it works

This block uses Jina AI's Grounding API to verify the factuality of statements. It analyzes the statement against reliable sources and returns a factuality score, result, reasoning, and supporting references.

The API searches for evidence and determines whether the statement is supported, contradicted, or uncertain based on available information.

### Inputs

| Input     | Description                           | Type | Required |
| --------- | ------------------------------------- | ---- | -------- |
| statement | The statement to check for factuality | str  | Yes      |

### Outputs

| Output     | Description                                                  | Type             |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------- |
| error      | Error message if the operation failed                        | str              |
| factuality | The factuality score of the statement                        | float            |
| result     | The result of the factuality check                           | bool             |
| reason     | The reason for the factuality result                         | str              |
| references | List of references supporting or contradicting the statement | List\[Reference] |

### Possible use case

**Content Verification**: Verify claims in articles or social media posts before publishing.

**AI Output Validation**: Check factuality of AI-generated content to ensure accuracy.

**Research Support**: Validate statements in research or journalism with supporting references.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://agpt.co/docs/integrations/block-integrations/fact_checker.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
