Access Copyscape in Excel

Input

The Copyscape Connector allows you to check for copies of a text based on either Webpages or Texts.

Output

After Copyscape has checked an input, you can have the findings presented in two ways:

• Results (table)
• Counts (integer)

Results gives you a complete list of all possible duplicates along with various metadata (see below). Counts gives you the number of possible duplicates. This is perfect when you use formula mode and you can parse a list of texts or webpages (see example GIF).

Results metrics:

• URL - URL of found page
• Title - Title of the found web page
• Snippet - Text snippet showing some of the matching text
• MinWordsMatched - Minimum number of words matching
• ViewUrl - Minimum number of words matching

Balance

Check how much credit you have remaining.
