description: Fama is an AI-powered social media and online screening platform for employment decisions. Its REST API lets HR platforms and background-screening
  providers submit candidate checks and retrieve behavioral findings — flagged posts, web content, and social profiles — mapped to workplace-misconduct
  categories across 30+ languages while filtering out protected-class information for EEOC/FCRA-aligned adjudication. Reports are delivered via
  completion callbacks or polling as JSON or a signed PDF, powering pre-employment screening (Fama Plus), comprehensive candidate assessment (Fama
  360), and ongoing employee monitoring (Fama Pulse).

    the artifact-type surfaces with a server that does not exist.'
