Get a check's result
get_scan_resultRead-onlyIdempotent
Reads a check started with check_plagiarism or detect_ai. Use it after starting a check, and again until status is completed. Status is pending or processing while the check runs (usually 30 to 90 seconds), completed when results are ready, or failed if the check could not run, in which case the words are refunded. A completed plagiarism check returns a similarity score and up to 15 matching sources with their URLs and matched text. A completed AI check returns an overall score and up to 25 sentences with the highest likelihood. Every result includes a report_url for the full report. Only checks on the signed-in user's account can be read; an unknown scan_id returns an error. Free to call and changes nothing.
