Code Plagiarism & Similarity API

Second Step: Uploading to a check

Important: A check supports multiple files. Each submission is represented as its own zip file (only zip files are supported) where the source code is stored (structure does not matter). We do not recommend checking hundreds of files at once, as peer check will run each file against one another, which may not complete successfully.

When sending the request, we will need to POST two variables (Content-Type: multipart/form-data):

				curl -i -X POST \
    -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
    -H 'apikey:  YOUR_API_KEY_HERE ' \
    -F "file=@/test.zip" \
    -F "check_id=YOUR_CHECK_ID" \

About uploading

The uploading endpoint supports concurrent requests, meaning you can have multiple threads sending files to the same check_id. This becomes useful for components such as DropzoneJS.

After you have finished uploading all the necessary zip files, all being the same source language as the language specific upon check creation, we can move to the last step of the checking process.
