The Virtual Writing Tutor provides web services for checking levels. Our level checker API allows for the integration of essay proofreading and scoring services into any website or application. This page documents the level check API.
Please note that we recommend that automatically generated feedback and scores be used to support learning and not for high stakes decisions unless reviewed and validated by a human teacher.
This webpage is intended for programmers only. English language learners should go to the grammar checker page to login for a free member's account.

We require users to register for an API key*. To generate an API key*, fill in the form below and click the "Generate" button.
*Note: If you already have a essay checker or grammar checker API key, then there is no need to generate another. We recommend that you use same API key.

The usual cause is a bad API key or the grammar checker is updating and so unavailable for 30 seconds while the system loads the new rules. |
URL | HEADERS | METHOD | REQUEST | RESPONSE |
---|---|---|---|---|
https://console.virtualwritingtutor.com/console/auth/info?vwtapikey=xxxxxxxx* *(xxxxxxxx) is your API key | N/A | GET | { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "status": true, "result": [ { "client_name": "xxx", "client_email": "xxx", "api_key": "xxxxxxxx", "used_essay_hits": 1, "total_essay_hits": 100, "remaining_essay_hits": 99, "used_grammar_hits": 100, "total_grammar_hits": 100, "remaining_grammar_hits": 0 } ] } |
For Step 1 to Step 3, the system will not register any hits, so your account will not be debited any calls while them. For each single call during Step 4 (which generates feedback), your account will be debited 1 call because the system registers 1 hit each time.
