Browser Extension Guide

Embed Parse credibility analysis directly into browser extensions for inline article scoring.

Overview

Browser extensions can use the Parse API to analyze articles as users browse. The extension detects article pages, submits the URL for analysis, and displays the credibility score in the browser UI.

Content Script Example

// content.js — runs on article pages
chrome.runtime.sendMessage({
  type: 'ANALYZE_URL',
  url: window.location.href,
});

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((message) => {
  if (message.type === 'ANALYSIS_RESULT') {
    showCredibilityBadge(message.data.truthScore, message.data.credibility);
  }
});

function showCredibilityBadge(score, label) {
  const badge = document.createElement('div');
  badge.className = 'parse-badge';
  badge.textContent = `${label} (${score}/100)`;
  document.body.prepend(badge);
}
