CTC Slop Check

API

Score text from your own tools.

The same engine as the checker, over HTTP. Text is scored in memory and never stored. Anonymous calls are limited per hour; an account gives a key with a daily allowance.

POST /api/score

Send JSON with text (up to 20,000 characters) and optionally variant, either en-GB (the default) or en-US.

curl -s https://slopcheck.comparethecloud.net/api/score \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"text": "Paste one or more paragraphs here.", "variant": "en-GB"}'

The reply lists each paragraph with its character range, the rules that fired and the exact spans that set each one off, plus a document-level score from the house model when the text is long enough to measure (about 300 words).

GET /api/rules

The full rulebook as JSON: 92 rules with their detectors, fixes and before and after examples.

POST /api/rewrite

Send text (up to 4,000 characters), scope (sentence, paragraph or text) and opinion (true keeps first-person stance under stricter guards). The reply holds the rewrite, the rules it removed and any that remain, and a word-level diff. A rewrite that drops or adds a fact, pads the text or flattens its rhythm is refused and the original comes back unchanged.

Keys and limits

Send a key as Authorization: Bearer ctc_sk_…. Keys are created on your account page and shown once. Limits reset daily at midnight UTC; a 429 reply means the day's allowance is used.
