New 'Fake News' Category

Today we're making a new Fake News category (ID: 868) available in the API. You'll start seeing this category appear in API responses, and you'll be able to filter your queries using it.

If the API response to your query returns topics, the Fake News category will appear as below:

"topics": [
  {
    "id": 868,
    "name": "Fake News"
  }
]

The sources in this category are based on Politifact's list of fake news sources. You can see their full list here.
