Fake reviews are everywhere. Anyone who's bought something online has probably been burned by them at some point — a product with 500 five star reviews that turns out to be garbage.
I wanted a programmatic way to flag them so I built an API that does it.
Send it any review text and it comes back with a fake score from 0-100, a verdict of genuine, suspicious, or likely fake, and up to three reasons why it flagged it.
It catches things like overly enthusiastic language, disclosure of free products, vague non-specific praise, and other patterns that show up consistently in incentivized or fake reviews.
Useful if you're building a marketplace, running a review platform, or just want to sanity check reviews before trusting them.

Built it in a day. Happy to answer any questions.
