OVERVIEW

The TruthSift API is an HTTP-based API which allows third party applications and websites to use the TruthSift functionality remotely. The API only provides data updation and retrieval - it does not provide any UI or display attributes. It is up to the calling application to present the API data as desired.

PRE-REQUISITES

• You must be a registered member on the TruthSift website. An API key will be generated for your account on sending a request to info@truthsift.com.
• All methods available in the API require the usage of the API key.
• As a developer or an API integration specialist, you are expected to be familiar with the HTTP protocol and the JSON format specification
• It is expected that you are familiar with the graph logic in TruthSift, in order for you to be able to work with the Graph functions in the API.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• The terms Topic and Graph mean the same thing, with very minor differences which do not affect API usage.
