Quickstart

Run your first Turnitin report request in about 15 minutes.

1. Create an API key

Register an account, open the console, and create an API key for your environment.

2. Upload a document

Create a job with a PDF, DOCX, or TXT file and choose Similarity, AI, or both report types.

3. Watch job status

Poll the job endpoint or subscribe to the SSE event stream. Jobs move through queued, processing, completed, or failed states.

4. Download artifacts

When the job completes, download report PDFs and structured JSON from artifact endpoints. Platform-side failures return credits automatically.
