Grammarly Webhooks & Events
Overview
Grammarly's current API is request/response based — there are no push webhooks. For async operations (plagiarism detection), you poll for results. Build your own event system around Grammarly API results.
Instructions
Step 1: Plagiarism Polling with Callback
async function plagiarismWithCallback(
text: string,
token: string,
onComplete: (result: any) => void
) {
const createRes = await fetch('https://api.grammarly.com/ecosystem/api/v1/plagiarism', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ text }),
});
const { id } = await createRes.json();
const poll = async () => {
const res = await fetch(`https://api.grammarly.com/ecosystem/api/v1/plagiarism/${id}`, {
headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}` },
});
const result = await res.json();
if (result.status === 'pending') { setTimeout(poll, 3000); return; }
onComplete(result);
};
poll();
}
Step 2: Build Event Bus for Score Results
import { EventEmitter } from 'events';
const grammarlyEvents = new EventEmitter();
grammarlyEvents.on('score.completed', (data) => {
if (data.overallScore < 60) console.warn('Low quality content detected');
});
grammarlyEvents.on('ai.detected', (data) => {
if (data.score > 70) console.warn('Likely AI-generated content');
});
