  AccuraCite verifies bibliographies and finds real citations, catching AI-hallucinated references before they
  are published. Every citation supplied as raw text, BibTeX, RIS or an uploaded PDF is checked against eight
  academic indexes -- OpenAlex, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, PubMed, DBLP, arXiv, CORE and Google Scholar --
  and returned as verified, mismatch or not_found, with the matched bibliographic record and a field-level
  list of what disagreed. A second surface runs the other direction: given a claim, it returns real papers
  whose abstracts actually support it rather than papers whose titles merely look related. Both are exposed
  over a small synchronous REST API (POST /api/v1/verify and POST /api/v1/generate) keyed by an X-API-Key
  header and metered from a shared monthly credit pool. AccuraCite is a solo-founder product built by a
  computer-science PhD after finding fabricated citations in a co-authored, partly AI-drafted paper.

  description: >-
    Synchronous REST API for citation verification and claim-to-source lookup. Two operations, both POST and
    both keyed by an X-API-Key header: /api/v1/verify checks a citation string (or a bare URL, or a batch of
    up to 10) against eight academic indexes and returns verified / mismatch / not_found with the matched
    record, and /api/v1/generate returns real papers whose abstracts support a supplied claim. Documented rate
    limits are 60/min verify and 30/min generate, metered from a shared credit pool (1 credit per verify, 4
    per generated citation); API access requires the Pro or Bulk Verification plan. No OpenAPI is published --
    /openapi.json, /openapi.yaml, /swagger.json, /api/v1/openapi.json, /api-docs.json, /redoc and /apis.json
    all returned 404 on 2026-08-31, as did every /.well-known/ path -- so the API reference at /api-docs is
    the only contract. Originally PARKED by the apis.io gate as low confidence, which was a false negative:
    accuracite.com serves a 4KB llms.txt naming the docs page and both endpoints explicitly.
