How do I get started?

Getting started takes less than 5 minutes! Click "Start 7-Day Free Trial" on any plan, complete the signup form, and you'll instantly receive your API key via email. No credit card required for the trial. Check out our Quick Start Guide for step-by-step instructions.

How do I authenticate my API calls?

Every API request requires your API key in the Authorization header. Here's a quick example:

curl -X POST https://api.contentveritas.com/verify \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "Your content here"}'

Your API key is sent to your email immediately after signup. Keep it secure and never expose it in client-side code.

What are the rate limits?

Basic Plan: 10,000 requests per month with standard response times
Pro Plan: 50,000 requests per month with priority response times
Enterprise: Unlimited requests with custom rate limits

All plans include burst protection to handle traffic spikes. If you exceed your monthly limit, additional requests are charged at the per-call rate ($0.0029 for Basic, $0.0020 for Pro).

How accurate is the detection?

Our accuracy rates are continuously tested and validated:

Basic Plan: 95%+ accuracy on standard content
Pro Plan: 97%+ accuracy with enhanced detection models
Enterprise: 99%+ accuracy with custom-tuned models

Our API returns a confidence score (0-100) with each result, so you can set your own threshold based on your use case. We recommend a threshold of 70+ for most applications.

What happens after my 7-day free trial?

After your 7-day trial ends, you'll automatically transition to the paid plan you selected. You'll receive an email reminder 2 days before your trial ends. Your API key remains the same - no code changes needed! If you cancel during the trial, you won't be charged anything.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) through Stripe's secure payment processing. We also accept debit cards and digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay. For Enterprise plans, we can arrange invoice billing with NET 30 terms.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes! You can cancel your subscription anytime from your account dashboard. There are no cancellation fees or long-term contracts. When you cancel, you'll retain access until the end of your current billing period. Your API key will continue working until that date, so there's no service disruption.

Do you offer refunds?

We offer a 7-day free trial so you can thoroughly test the API before committing. Due to the nature of API usage, we don't offer refunds on subscription fees after the trial period. However, if you experience technical issues that prevent you from using the service, please contact us at support@contentveritas.com and we'll work with you to resolve the issue.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

Absolutely! You can upgrade or downgrade your plan anytime from your account dashboard. When upgrading, you'll get immediate access to the new features. When downgrading, the change takes effect at the start of your next billing cycle. Your API key stays the same, so no code changes are needed.

What programming languages do you support?

ContentVeritas is a REST API, so it works with any programming language that can make HTTP requests. We provide code examples in JavaScript, Python, PHP, Ruby, Java, Go, and cURL in our documentation. The API uses standard JSON requests and responses, making integration straightforward regardless of your tech stack.

What kind of content can I verify?

You can verify any text content including blog posts, articles, product descriptions, academic papers, social media posts, and more. The API works best with content that's at least 50 words long, though shorter text can also be analyzed. Maximum content length per request is 10,000 words.

Do you store the content I send for verification?

We do not store or retain any content you send through the API. Your text is analyzed in real-time and immediately discarded after the response is sent. We only keep metadata (timestamp, API key used, confidence score) for billing and analytics purposes. Your content remains private and confidential.
