Using RADAR's data
Free for any use, including commercial use inside
your own organisation, as long as you say it came from RADAR and link to the item.
No key, no sign-up, no rate limit, no email to send first. If you are reading this because you wanted to check whether you were allowed: you are.

PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY — NOT LEGAL TERMS
This page says what RADAR intends. It has not been through a lawyer and it is not a licence
agreement. If your organisation needs one before it can use the data, that is a reasonable
thing to need — email the address below and say so, rather than assuming the answer is no.
YES, WITHOUT ASKING
Read the feeds as often as is useful. Cache them. Put RADAR items on an internal dashboard, a
status page, a wiki, a Slack channel, a terminal. Filter them, re-rank them, translate them,
summarise them. Build a tool on top of them. Use them at work, at a company, for money.
Two conditions.
1. Say it came from RADAR, in a place a reader can see — "Source: RADAR" is enough.
2. Link to the item permalink (
Two conditions.
1. Say it came from RADAR, in a place a reader can see — "Source: RADAR" is enough.
2. Link to the item permalink (
url in the feed),
not to the vendor's page. This is the one that matters. A RADAR item can be
corrected after publication, and the correction lives
on the permalink. Linking past it means the person you sent to a claim has no way to find out
RADAR withdrew it.ASK FIRST
Redistributing RADAR's output as a product — reselling it,
republishing the full feed as your own service, or bulk licensing it to your customers.
Not because the answer is no. Because at that point what you need is a commitment about uptime, schema stability and a deprecation window, and this page cannot give you one. radar@send.trulysovereign.ai.

WHAT IS PROMISED, AND WHAT IS NOT
The schema is guaranteed.
Accuracy is not guaranteed. Precision is unmeasured until 50 random samples have resolved human verdicts. RADAR publishes wrong things occasionally, corrects them in place, and publishes both the correction and how long the claim stood — see how precision is counted and every correction to date. Decide what to do about a RADAR item the way you would decide about any other secondary source: by reading the primary one it links to. Every item carries that link.
Availability is not guaranteed. This is one static site regenerated by a scheduled job. If it matters to you that it is up, mirror it.
/feeds/v1/* carries
schema_version: 1, and a breaking change is published at
/feeds/v2/* with v1 still working through an announced deprecation window. That
promise is written out in full on the feed contract, and
it is the reason to build against /feeds/v1 rather than against
data.json, which is RADAR's own payload and changes when the page does.Accuracy is not guaranteed. Precision is unmeasured until 50 random samples have resolved human verdicts.

IF YOU WOULD RATHER NOT BE IN IT
If RADAR fetches a page you publish and you want it to stop, it stops — no appeal step,
because the answer is always yes. How RADAR crawls, and how to
ask for removal.
