Connect a computer

Terminal, PowerShell, Python or Node. Any machine that can make a web request.

1. Keep the key out of your commands

Set it once as an environment variable so it is not pasted into scripts.

2. Send a check

Mac, Linux or Git Bash

curl https://api.chatniai.com/v1/check \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PIJ_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text":"Nigeria has 36 states.","async":true}'

Windows PowerShell

$h = @{ Authorization = "Bearer $env:PIJ_KEY" }
$b = @{ text = "Nigeria has 36 states."; async = $true } | ConvertTo-Json
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri https://api.chatniai.com/v1/check -Headers $h -ContentType "application/json" -Body $b

A whole script that waits for the answer (Python)

import os, sys, time, requests
API, H = "https://api.chatniai.com", {"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["PIJ_KEY"]}
text = sys.argv[1]
job = requests.post(API + "/v1/check", headers=H, json={"text": text, "async": True}).json()
if "job_id" not in job: sys.exit(job.get("message", "Could not start"))
for _ in range(90):
    time.sleep(10)
    j = requests.get(API + "/v1/job/" + job["job_id"], headers=H).json()
    if j.get("state") == "done":
        for c in j["result"]["claims"]:
            print(c.get("verdict") or "HELD", "-", c["claim"])
            print(c.get("text") or "")
        break
    if j.get("state") == "failed": sys.exit("Failed. Try again.")

Run it: python check.py "The CBN has closed all banks."
