How many independent sources say this?

Coverage Graph: the independent-source view of a passage's story — how many DISTINCT hosts carry it, and which passages, grouped by source and ranked by host authority.

get /corroborate

Request

curl \
  -H "x-api-key: $UNLOB_API_KEY" \

Behaviour

The anti-hallucination check: one echoed rumour and an independently reported fact look identical in a result list, and different here. `independent_sources` counts every host that asserted the story, including hosts whose copy was folded into this one as a near-duplicate.

Check it before you state something as established.

Parameters

Responses

StatusMeaning
200Distinct hosts carrying the story, grouped and ranked by authority.
401Missing, unknown or revoked key. A key minted moments ago can answer 401 until it propagates to the serving fleet.
429Over the per-minute rate, or past a hard-capped monthly quota. `retry-after` is present on the rate-limit case only.

The same call over MCP is a tool with these parameter names unchanged. See Errors for what to do with each status.
