Noplag API Access

Noplag’s API (Application Programming Interface) makes it possible to integrate Noplag Plagiarism checker into your Website, Admin or any other Application where you need to check your files or text for similarities. Webmasters and Developers can write scripts on your server that will post request to Noplag and receive results in the form of JSON script. To view Plagiarism Report within your application you can use iFrame. To request access, please contact support or submit Request Access form on this page.

To begin using the API, you need to write a script that will send data to the server and receive a response.

"sources" Select one or more sources to check your text. Values separated by a coma. internet, database, publication, library Yes

Here is an example of the Post Request:

{
    'api_secret_token' : 'secret_npdnwle12qwe12',
    'sources' : 'internet, database, publication, library',
    'data' : (files/texts)
    }

You may only send one type of the data: file(s) or text.

URL Search Request

To check for similarities in your file(s) or text via the Noplag API, send an HTTP POST request to this URL:

Example: https://api.noplag.com/v1/text

In order to receive results from the Noplag API, please make sure the following steps are set and ready:

  1. Your Current Balance - Before sending the API data, make sure that your account balance is sufficient for the operation. Otherwise, you will get the following error "Your balance is too low to check the file(s)".
