How to Detect Plagiarism using JavaScript

In this article, we’ll show you how to implement plagiarism detection in under five minutes using JavaScript and the Eden AI API.

Eden AI offers an easy-to-use, powerful API that simplifies the process, allowing developers to quickly integrate plagiarism detection into their applications for efficient text authenticity checks.

‍

What is Plagiarism Detection API?

A plagiarism detection system, also known as an AI Plagiarism Detection API, analyzes textual content to identify similarities with existing sources.

It leverages advanced deep learning techniques, such as natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms, to compare text against databases, detect duplicated content, and ensure originality.

How to Detect Plagiarism?

‍

Step 1: Set Up Your Eden AI Account

If you haven’t signed up for Eden AI yet, register for a free account using this link. You will be able to get your API key directly from the API Keys section with free credits offered by Eden AI.

2. Access text processing technologies: After logging in, navigate to the text section of the platform.

3. Select the feature: Navigate to plagiarism detection.

Implementing Plagiarism Detection in JavaScript

‍

To get started, install Axios, a popular HTTP client for making API requests:

npm install axios

This will allow you to send HTTP requests to Eden AI’s plagiarism detection API.

‍

Example Code

Now, let's write a JavaScript script that sends a text sample to Eden AI API for plagiarism detection.

const axios = require("axios").default;

const options = {
  method: "POST",
  url: "https://api.edenai.run/v2/text/plagia_detection",
  headers: {
    authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY", // Replace with your actual API key
  },
  data: {
    providers: "originalityai", // Choose the provider
    text: "Your text here to check for plagiarism.",
    title: "Optional Title",
  },
};

axios
  .request(options)
  .then((response) => {
    console.log("Plagiarism Check Result:", response.data);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error("Error:", error);
  });

‍

Explanation of the Code:

1. Axios is used to make an HTTP POST request to Eden AI's plagiarism detection endpoint.
2. We pass an API key (replace "YOUR_API_KEY" ) to authenticate.
3. The text parameter contains the content to check.
4. The provider is set to "originalityai" but you can explore other providers supported by Eden AI.
5. The API returns a detailed plagiarism analysis, which you can log or process further.

‍

Interpreting the Results

The response should give you a detailed report on the plagiarism analysis. Here is an example output:

{
  "plagiarism_score": 32.5,
  "sources": [
    {
      "url": "https://example.com/article1",
      "similarity": 75
    },
    {
      "url": "https://example.com/article2",
      "similarity": 50
    }
  ],
  "matched_text": [
    {
      "text": "This is a sample sentence found in another source.",
      "source": "https://example.com/source"
    }
  ]
}

A plagiarism score of 0% to 10% suggests the content is likely original, while 10% to 40% indicates some similarities that should be reviewed. A score above 40% signals high plagiarism and requires further verification.
