I am looking to see if there is an automatic "copyright content" API that we can use. I know atrributor have a paid service, but I'm wondering if their is something that effectively does a google search for a portion of the content, to check if whole sentences have been copied from elsewhere.
Basically We have several blogers that write for us and we want to check if any of the articles have been partially or completely copied from another source on the web. Manually I would select a few sample sentences and paste them into Google (using quotation marks) to see if I get any exact matches.
Is there a free API / service that you guys are aware of?
Although the APIs are capable of being protected under copyright laws, Google copied only a minuscule amount from the said code.
When an API is not open — meaning, released publicly — it's called a "closed API" or an “enterprise API.” Sometimes, developers also refer to “dark APIs.” Whatever it's called, the API will not be made publicly available and will be tightly controlled.
In a win for innovation, the U.S. Supreme Court has held that Google's use of certain Java Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) is a lawful fair use.
Computer programs are protected as literary works under U.S. copyright law. Even though software can be considered functional, Congress provided in the Copyright Act that software code itself is protected by copyright and can be registered as a textual work. This includes API code.
I was actually reading something about this a few days back and someone mentioned a service called Copyscape that has an API in its premium service - not free though
I am using Copyleaks API. Nice well built API that allows you to query URL or upload a file to check for plagiarism online. Copyleaks homepage
Have a good day!
