I am looking to see if there is an automatic "copyright content" API that we can use. I know atrributor have a paid service, but I'm wondering if their is something that effectively does a google search for a portion of the content, to check if whole sentences have been copied from elsewhere.
Basically We have several blogers that write for us and we want to check if any of the articles have been partially or completely copied from another source on the web. Manually I would select a few sample sentences and paste them into Google (using quotation marks) to see if I get any exact matches.
Is there a free API / service that you guys are aware of?
I was actually reading something about this a few days back and someone mentioned a service called Copyscape that has an API in its premium service - not free though
I am using Copyleaks API. Nice well built API that allows you to query URL or upload a file to check for plagiarism online.

Have a good day!
I heard about new service - PlagSpotter. You can read about their API here. However I think it's not free now.
One thing you can do is use a free search API (e.g.: Yahoo Boss).
The idea being is that a couple snippets of text are searched for and the results are evaluated either manually or automatically.
Honestly, the idea sounds great, but I do not think that there is anything like that out there and won't be in the next few years. The reason is probably howto define which sentences are copyright protected and which ones are not (every single line from a book or magazine could be copyright protected). Even if this decision could be properly made, it that would lead to a enormous database and request would take a long time.

I am a union member of a airlines company, and I possess the elementary level of HTML, PHP and MYSQL. I have experience programming a library system and personnel system.
Our union would like to create an online platform, one of the function is to allow our crews to calculate their flying allowances and salary easily.
I think first of all, I need the roster data, so the platform is required to log in my company website in order to extract the roster data, and then I can code with PHP.
Therefore, I wonder if it is possible to write PHP code "log in to my company website and extract the data".
Or what is the best language for this program you recommend? Maybe I can learn a new language if PHP is not applicable.
Thanks for your attention.
Welcome to Stack Overflow.
To answer your question, Yes, you can write this in PHP. And by you, I mean you! None of us know the site and there is no way for us to know how it operates.
You may want to consider if there is an API for this site. You may want to load the site via cURL or another HTTP request into PHP and parse the HTML. There are a lot of ways to do this.
PHP is not the only language to perform this in: ASP.NET, Perl, Python... in the end, it sounds like you need to collect data that you would normally see using a web browser, so you're going to mimic that behavior with whatever language you choose to use.

I need to do a MASSIVE data mine. I want to find out;
A users location
Look at their tweets for specific words in the last two days
Repeat (ideally) for every twitter user
I've seen R recommended somewhere, but wouldn't really know where to begin.
Happy with CSV, json or SQL endpoint.
As you tagged "python" in your question, I'm going to assume you're ok with it ! Twitter lets you access its data by two APIs :
REST API allows you to make specific user requests (profile, friends, etc.), but it only allows a few queries per hour, so it probably does not meet your "massive data" criterion
The streaming API delivers tweets based on a search on real-time. You can definitely harvest massive data using this API, and if I remember correctly, tweets come up with useful infos (user who tweeted of course, but probably location too if enabled).
Tweepy (http://www.tweepy.org/) is a user-friendly Python library implementing both Twitter APIs, providing particularly helpful functions for capturing data from the streaming API (see examples here : https://github.com/tweepy/examples).

I am unaware if such an API or service exists currently so this is a vague question, my apologies.
I have a PHP script that works with Freebase and I was wondering if I can enable it so a user can ask a question on my site which will be deconstructed using natural language processing, query the Freebase API and then return an answer.
Does anyone know of an already existing tool like this that works with Freebase?
If not, does anyone know of any great Natural Language Understanding APIs that would be able to strip down a question such as "how tall is mount everest?" and tell my script to query "height" on the mount everest article on Freebase?
This is a great question. Natural language understanding is a difficult problem and there aren't a lot of drop-in solutions out there. The problem that you've described (eg. "How tall is Mount Everest?") is actually better known as question answering.
Here is some research into question answering that used Freebase data including IBM's Watson computer: http://www.mendeley.com/groups/585641/freebase/papers/added/0/tag/question+answering/
Here are some templates in Freebase that map Freebase properties to English sentences:
https://www.freebase.com/base/natlang/predicate_relation?instances
Here is a simple open source app that I built which does some basic question answering using the Freebase APIs: http://answers.freebaseapps.com/?q=what+is+the+elevation+of+mount+everest
The Quepy project uses Python to do question answering using either DBpedia or Freebase data.
Please let us know what else you discover, there's certainly a lot more that we could be doing in this area.
Quick update: The Quepy release is ready! :D
Currently Quepy provides support for Sparql and MQL query languages. We plan to extended it to other database query languages.
The full code here: http://github.com/machinalis/quepy
Full documentation here: http://quepy.readthedocs.org/
Demo: http://quepy.machinalis.com/
I also have great news; At this moment the Quepy team is working to start using the Freebase APIs.
So soon we will share Quepy using Freebase to the community.
We are very happy about this.
You can contact us at our Mailing List:

Another update: just saw that AlchemyAPI has such an API for NLU, really understanding language, objects, semantics, and deriving pragmatisms. A demo is at http://www.alchemyapi.com/products/demo/

Here's what I need: I have a table in a SQLite file, that contains items - descriptions, dimensions, image and thumbnail.
I need to allow someone from outside the company to edit this table through an "admin interface". I need a simple login mechanism to authenticate said user, and I need a form that shows all available rows in the table applicable to him/her, and allow editing the values. That may include uploading images.
Now, I've developed tons of these interfaces before, in several languages. What I'd like to ask is: is there a shortcut? Since this needs to be quick and dirty (i.e., this wasn't in the original plan, I'm not being paid for this, but I may lose a client if I don't have it in place) and be up as soon as possible, is there some open source solution, or any previous PHP code, that I can customize and use in this and future cases?
Any solution that will save me time is welcome.
Thanks for YOUR time :)

Well if you can use a framework you could use an auto generated admin interface or scaffolding from a framework. Symfony and Cake both have this. Of course thats a lot of dead weight to have if the whole app/site isnt using the framework. But it would make it relatively painless to create. IF you can run this interface on a subdomain that would make it even esier since you dont have to worry about integrating it with anything existing except the DB and shared folder for the uploaded files.

What's a good URL shortening script that does the following things?
It is customizable (HTML and CSS)
Users can create accounts
Users can delete shortened URLs
There is a bookmarklet
Users can set privacy codes
Some sort of API (so Twitter clients could use it, etc.)
Thanks a document.write(Math.random()*Math.pow(10,18));
:)
I haven't used any of these, but a quick googling turns up lots of results
Here's a good tutorial on how to do it yourself
Here's a php implementation you can use for free
The user account creation side of things is a separate issue and I'm not aware of any url-shortening scripts that would consider that. You might want to look into using openID providers for your authentication, though.
HotScripts looks like it has a few. Haven't used any but that might be a good place to start.
Check out ur.ly. I use it almost daily to compress URL's.
If you want to use an API to interact with a URL compression service, they have that. They also publish their code, so you can check it out if you want to do something similar. It's written in Python.
ur.ly doesn't have accounts or allow deletion, but the code should help you get started.
EDIT for managing URL's using an account, you could try bit.ly, but they don't offer their code AFAICT. They do offer an API, though, that includes authentication.
I prefer Shrinky the free URL shortener, it’s free and it must be listed too :
