From a single link to
the full media picture.
SourceTrace works across two surfaces — a web app and a WhatsApp bot — both powered by the same cross-source intelligence engine.
WhatsApp Bot
Fact-check any link without leaving your chat.
Forward any article link
Send a news URL to the SourceTrace WhatsApp number — directly or from a group chat. No app to install, no account required.
We scrape and search
The bot extracts the article title and body, then searches Google News for every other outlet covering the same story. Results arrive in seconds.
Receive a scored summary
You get a confidence score, a two-sentence synthesis of where sources agree or differ, and a numbered list of outlets with their individual angles — all in one WhatsApp message.
Drill deeper with buttons
Tap Detailed Analysis for a source-by-source breakdown, or Language Coverage to find how the story is covered in Malayalam, Hindi, Arabic, and 12+ other languages.
Cross-Language Search
The same story, told in 12+ languages — found automatically.
Pick your language
After a fact-check, tap Language Coverage and choose from Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Arabic, and more. No separate search needed.
We find local coverage
SourceTrace searches for the same story across news outlets that publish in your chosen language — the ones that rarely show up in an English-first feed.
Read the story from a local lens
A regional outlet in Kerala, a Hindi daily, an Arabic broadcaster — they often frame the same event very differently. Now you can see how.
The most relevant results, curated
You get a short, clean list of the most relevant articles in that language — no noise, no irrelevant results, just the stories that actually match.
Spider View
Cross-source coverage on the web — in seconds.
Paste or search any story
Drop a headline, keyword, or article URL into Spider View. The engine normalises your query and searches across dozens of tracked sources simultaneously.
We find every outlet covering it
SourceTrace queries Google News and its own ingestion pipeline to surface every major outlet reporting on the same event — in real time, across languages.
AI scores cross-source consistency
A language model reads the headlines and body text from each source, scores how consistently they frame the story (0–1), and synthesises where they agree or diverge.
Explore the radial web
Results are laid out in an interactive Spider View — the centre article radiates outward to every outlet covering the story. Click any node to read the original source. Share the full view with one link.
Developer API
Embed cross-source intelligence into your own product.
Get an API key
Sign up and generate a key from your profile. Sandbox access is available immediately for testing against a live dataset.
Call one endpoint
POST a URL or headline to the Spider endpoint. The API returns a structured JSON response: consistency score, synthesis, per-source sentences, and article metadata.
Render however you like
Use the response to power your own UI — a fact-check widget, a newsroom dashboard, a browser extension, or a Slack bot. The data model is stable and versioned.
