Fake news verifier Chrome extension using AWS Comprehend and News API
The Chrome extension is based on a Node.js server. It scrap the title of the desired webpage using BeautifulSoup library and search for similar news with the News API. Then, it uses AWS Comprehend to analize every title for them comparing it to the title of the main new.
This prototype app was made by us while participating in the HackUPC 2018 Edition. They made a great job to make the hackathon possible!
