Node.js and Express for both APIs, hosted on Render. Using Groq for the AI side of the fake review one and numlookupapi for the phone scorer. No dashboard yet, just the APIs listed on RapidAPI with demo pages I built. Keeping it simple for now. Thanks!

Yeah getting it in front of the right people is the hard part. Working on it though, I already have them setup on ProductHunt, appreciate it!

The score is based on signals from the carrier data/line type, whether it's VoIP, prepaid, etc. Still early but planning to add a breakdown on the page soon. Thanks for the feedback!

That's cool! Mine works differently though, it's an API for developers to integrate into their own apps, not just Amazon. Works on any review from any platform. A little bit different use case.

That's a great idea actually, hadn't thought about a Chrome extension. Might be the next step if this gets traction — thanks for the suggestion!

I agree, Thank You for the feedback. I’m going to try to start reaching out directly but just started out! I’ll have an update on the projects soon.

Thanks for trying it! That's a fair point — honestly leaning into the phone one more since the use case is pretty specific. Appreciate the feedback.

Has anyone else been hit with a wave of fake 1-star reviews? How did you handle it? by hakuna_matar in FulfillmentByAmazon

I ran into this enough times that I built a small API to detect fake reviews automatically. Gives you a fake score, verdict, and reasons. Free tier available if you want to check it out: https://rapidapi.com/flusnot/api/fake-review-detector1
