Utility Detect AI Text API
Scrape Utility Detect AI Text data with one API call. Pass one post, comment or passage as text (up to 8000 characters) and get back how likely it was written by an AI model, from SocialCrawl's own text classifier: p (0 to 1, calibrated), level (likely at p 0.95 or higher, possible at 0.71 or higher, unlikely below, or too_short for a text under 8 words, which carries p null) and model (the model name; a new name means a new scale). The model reads the opening of the text, about 1,000 characters. It is the same judgment post endpoints publish under label=ai_written, so a post checked here and on a list gets the same answer. It is a probability, not proof: a person can be flagged and an AI-written text can pass, and the shorter the text the less certain it is. Nothing is stored. 1 credit; a call that cannot be scored right now is a 503 and is not charged.

Returns how likely a text was written by an AI model: a calibrated probability, a level (likely, possible, unlikely or too_short) and the model name.
Use it to check one post, comment or passage you already have. To filter a whole page of posts, pass label=ai_written (and exclude=ai_written) on the post endpoint instead.
