data_collector.py
=================
Production data-collection pipeline for InformationIntegrity OpenEnv.
Takes any claim string(s), fetches real evidence from multiple search/news
backends, scores source reliability, classifies stance, and caches results
in Redis. The output is a Scenario JSON ready for the environment.
Backends (all optional β falls back gracefully):
1. SerpAPI SERPAPI_KEY
2. NewsAPI NEWSAPI_KEY
3. Brave Search BRAVE_SEARCH_KEY
4. Google Fact Check GOOGLE_FACTCHECK_KEY
5. DuckDuckGo HTML (no key, rate-limited fallback)
Environment variables:
SERPAPI_KEY
NEWSAPI_KEY
BRAVE_SEARCH_KEY
GOOGLE_FACTCHECK_KEY
REDIS_URL (default: redis://localhost:6379)
CACHE_TTL_SECONDS (default: 86400 β 24h)
RELIABILITY_CONFIG (default: domain_reliability.yaml)
MAX_SOURCES_PER_CLAIM (default: 8)
REQUEST_TIMEOUT (default: 10s)
Usage:
python data_collector.py --claims "Claim one" "Claim two" \
--content "The original post text" \
--difficulty medium \
--out scenario.json
from data_collector import DataCollector, CollectionRequest
