FullFact Media Ingest is the content collection crawler behind Full Fact AI, the fact-checking toolset built by the UK fact-checking charity Full Fact. It fetches news articles and other published media so that Full Fact's natural language processing pipeline can transcribe and triage statements, detect checkable claims, match them against existing fact checks and alert fact checkers when misinformation is repeated. The crawler identifies itself plainly with the operator name and a contact URL, but Full Fact publishes no crawler documentation, no IP ranges and no reverse DNS hostnames for verification.

How Centinel checks it

User agent: The request calls itself this crawler. Anyone can send the same string.

FullFact Media Ingest publishes nothing Centinel can check a source against, so a match reports the name and leaves the source unconfirmed. The match tokens, verification domains, and address feeds are not published here.

Allowing or blocking it

The crawler object in the /validate response sets access_allowed to true only for a verified source that your tenant allowlists. A policy rule can allow or block this crawler by its category, Monitoring.
