Claude watermark detection API

Anthropic says detection support for users and third parties is forthcoming. The marking coverage is now documented, but no detector endpoint, technical specification, or access program is available yet.

Confirmed

Anthropic plans to offer an API that checks whether Claude likely processed a piece of text.

Still pending

Endpoint documentation, access rules, keys, thresholds, minimum lengths, test vectors, rate limits, and pricing.

Our readiness

Our versioned provider adapter is prepared. It will remain off until official results can be reproduced and labeled accurately.

What the result will and will not mean

Anthropic says its watermark estimates whether Claude was likely involved with content. A positive result will not necessarily prove Claude wrote the original text. A negative result will not prove human authorship. Short text, editing, translation, and other transformations may affect detection.

What works today

Clean My Copy can report and clean supported literal hidden characters and formatting artifacts locally. That is useful, but it is not the same as Claude's future model-level verifier. The two results will remain clearly separated.
