Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

‍

What do I need to Detect Plagiarism using Python?

You need an API key from your chosen AI provider, or a single Eden AI key to access multiple providers. Most integrations also require basic knowledge of REST APIs and your programming language of choice.

‍

Which programming languages can I use?

Any language that supports HTTP requests works — Python, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, Go, and more. Eden AI provides ready-to-use code snippets for the most common languages to speed up integration.

‍

How long does the integration take?

Most developers complete a basic integration in under an hour using standardized API endpoints and ready-to-use code examples. Complex production setups with fallback logic may take a few hours more.

‍

How do I handle errors and rate limits?

Implement exponential backoff for rate limit errors and use try-catch blocks for network failures. Eden AI's built-in fallback routing automatically redirects requests if a provider is unavailable.

‍

Is the data I send secure and GDPR-compliant?

Check each provider's data processing agreement. Eden AI supports GDPR-compliant provider filtering and does not store or reuse your data, ensuring compliance with European privacy regulations.
