The public API is described using an OpenAPI/Swagger-compatible schema. It documents public API endpoints for individual plagiarism checks, organization/LMS integration checks, AI-generated text checks, processing status, report retrieval, documents, and group/member resources.

## Key concepts

- Plagiarism detection: comparing submitted text or documents against available sources to identify overlapping or similar content.
- Similarity score: a percentage-style summary indicating how much of a checked document matches detected sources.
- Originality report: a report that summarizes detected matches, matched sources, and similarity information for a submitted text or file.
- Source matching: linking matched text fragments to source records, URLs, or other indexed materials when available in the report data.
- LMS integration: connecting PlagiarismCheck.org with learning management systems so educators can check student submissions inside tools such as Canvas, Moodle, Google Classroom, Brightspace, or Schoology.
- API-based document submission: using the PlagiarismCheck.org API to submit text or files, poll processing status, and retrieve report data from another application.
- AI-generated text detection: submitting text or files for AI-writing analysis and retrieving AI report data when the account and API flow support it.
