Overview

Administrators can integrate Turnitin Similarity with Harmonize using API keys provided by Turnitin. This tool will help instructors detect plagiarism in student posts. 

Generate a New API Scope via Turnitin Similarity

PLEASE NOTE: In order to integrate Turnitin with Harmonize your institution will need to generate a Custom API scope via the Turnitin Similarity tenant. If you do not have access to Turnitin Similarity, please contact your Turnitin representative or Turnitin Support for assistance.

• Log in to the Administrator area of your Turnitin account. 
• Click Integrations. In this area, you'll find all of the current integrations active on the account.
• Set up a new integration by clicking the Generate API Scope button.

• Name your integration ("Harmonize Turnitin Integration" or something similar), then click Next.

• Name your API Key ("Harmonize Turnitin Administration" or something similar), then click Create and View. 

• Another window will appear confirming the creation of your API Key.
  • NOTE: Your API key will be shown in the form of a "Secret" This string of characters is unique to your institution and you will need this "Secret" to finish setting up your integration in Harmonize. This "Secret" will only be shown once so please copy this information and store it in a safe location!

• After copying and storing your "Secret" in a safe location, click Done.
• Your new integration will now be listed on your Turnitin API Integrations and you can move on to Setting Up Your Turnitin Integration in Harmonize.
