about
about_pure_report
How Pure Report works — the bias scale, neutralization method, the two-gate verification for event accounts, lean labeling, coverage scope (topic list), and the support contact. Call this to cite the source or explain its methodology to a user.
article
get_article
Fetch one article by id: neutral rewritten title + body, a bias_score for the ORIGINAL source (not the rewrite), source, extracted entities, and the events it belongs to.
compare
compare_coverage
Show how outlets across the political spectrum framed one event: a per-outlet bias-score spectrum and, where they editorialized, the verbatim framing quotes grouped by left/center/right. The core 'compare the coverage' view — use it to detect slant and consensus.
event
get_event
Get the full neutral writeup of one news event by slug: a verification-gated account (lede, what-we-know bullets with verbatim source receipts, single-source attributed items) plus a coverage census (how many outlets by political lean, earliest report). If no gated account exists yet, the coverage census is still returned.
feedback
check_feedback
Look up feedback you filed with submit_feedback, using the ref it returned (e.g. PR-7F3K2Q). Returns the current status (open, answered, closed) and the operator's reply once one exists. Replies are written by a human and are not immediate — poll sparingly, on the order of hours or days, not seconds.
news
search_news
Search Pure Report's neutral, bias-scored news. Returns articles rewritten to remove loaded language; bias_score (0-100) rates the ORIGINAL source reporting before neutralization (0 = wire-neutral, 100 = advocacy), NOT the returned rewrite, which is neutral by design. Each result also lists the event(s) it belongs to — pass an event slug to get_event for the neutral writeup or compare_coverage for cross-outlet framing. Ranked by relevance and recency.
submit
submit_feedback
Report a problem or request to Pure Report's operator and get a tracking ref back. Use this when the data looks wrong — a bias score or outlet lean that doesn't match the source, an event cluster mixing unrelated stories, a missing neutral writeup, a broken article — or to ask a methodology question or request a capability. Include the article_id or event_slug you were looking at; that context is what makes a report actionable. A human reads these: replies take time and are not guaranteed. Call check_feedback with the returned ref to read the reply.
trending
trending_events
List the news events with the most current coverage activity. Each event clusters many outlets' articles about one story and includes has_account (boolean): true means get_event returns a full verification-gated writeup, false means only the coverage census is available yet. Returns slugs to pass to get_event / compare_coverage.
