Copyleaks PHP SDK

Copyleaks SDK is a simple framework that allows you to scan text for plagiarism and detect content distribution online, using the Copyleaks plagiarism checker cloud.

Using Copyleaks SDK you can detect plagiarism in:

• Online content and webpages
• Local and cloud files (see supported files)
• Free text
• OCR (Optical Character Recognition) - scanning pictures with textual content (see supported files)

Integration

Integrate with the Copyleaks SDK in one of two options:

• Recommended: Use the Package Manager - Packagist.
  When integrating that way you will automatically be able to update the SDK to its latest version:

  composer require copyleaks/php-plagiarism-checker @dev
  

  Following that, in order to use the SDK, add this to your code:

  //copyleaks dependencies 
  include_once( __DIR__.'/vendor/copyleaks/php-plagiarism-checker/autoload.php');
  use Copyleaks\CopyleaksCloud;
  use Copyleaks\CopyleaksProcess;
  

• Download the code from this repository and add it to your project.

$email = 'Your-Email-Address-Here';
$apiKey = 'Your-API-Key-Here';

You can change 'createByURL' with 'createByFile' to scan local files:

 $process = $clCloud->createByFile('./tests/test.txt',$additionalHeaders); 

or with 'createByOCR to scan local images containing text:

$process  = $clCloud->createByOCR('./tests/c2253306-637a-44c3-8fe0-e0b5d237da32.jpg','English',$additionalHeaders);
