Code Plagiarism
Detection API

Build plagiarism detection into your apps. Check code against 20+ billion sources.

Documentation Get API Key

const response = await fetch('https://codequiry.com/api/v1/check', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'apikey': 'YOUR_API_KEY' }, body: formData }); // Check created!

TEST TYPES API

Get Available Test Types

Retrieve all available plagiarism detection engines (test types), their capabilities, features, and your account's access level for each.

API Endpoint

GET/POST https://codequiry.com/api/v1/test-types

No Parameters Required: This endpoint only requires your API key. The response is personalized based on your account's subscription level.

Authentication

Include your API key in the request header:

apikey: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

Success Response

HTTP Status: 200 OK

Engine IDs, names, and descriptions are returned from the live engine list and may differ from the illustrative values below. Always read the id values from the live response rather than hard-coding them.

Response Fields

success — Boolean indicating the request was successful
test_types — Array of available analysis engines
test_types[].id — Test type (engine) identifier to use in start check and create check endpoints
test_types[].name — Human-readable name of the detection engine
test_types[].description — Description of what this test type analyzes
test_types[].features — Array of capabilities included in this test type
test_types[].consumption — Credit consumption multiplier for this test type
test_types[].peer_only — Whether this test type only compares files within the same check
test_types[].auto_detect_base_code — Whether base code is automatically excluded from results

note — Informational note about availability and quota consumption

Understanding Test Types

Peer Similarity

Compares all submissions within a check against each other. Best for detecting copying between students in the same class. (peer_only: true)

Web Check

Searches 20+ billion web sources including GitHub, Stack Overflow, and public repositories for matching code.

Database Check

Deep analysis against our proprietary database with AI-generated code detection and cross-institution matching.
