API

https://newsapi.org/docs

News API is a simple HTTP REST API for searching and retrieving live articles from all over the web. It can help you answer questions like:

• What top stories is the NY Times running right now?
• What new articles were published about the next iPhone today?
• Has my company or product been mentioned or reviewed by any blogs recently?

Algorithm

Based on Avast article "How to identify fake news and prevent it from spreading." https://blog.avast.com/banish-fake-news-think-before-you-share

Algorithm is based on several factors:

• What source does the piece come from, is it reputable?

• It has a catchy headline?

• Is it current? Check the date to make sure you’re not ready to flip your wig (and someone else’s) over two-year old news, whether real or fake.

• It has an author?

Users also can choose, according to intuition, if article is fake or true, by clicking buttons, placed on card with article
