Steps
After configuring the Turnitin URL and API key, call the Get Features Enabled request and check the returned tenant.require_eula flag to know whether your integration must show users a EULA before submitting.
If require_eula is true, call Get EULA Version Info with version_id=latest to get the current EULA version, then Get EULA Page to retrieve the EULA HTML (or use its static url) for display.
Before creating a submission, confirm the user has accepted the current EULA version; if not, show it and block submission until accepted, then pass the optional eula attributes on the Create Submission request.
Poll Get EULA Version Info roughly every 24 hours to detect a newly published EULA version, and re-prompt any user who hasn't accepted the new version.
Register for and consume webhooks for submission-complete and similarity-report-complete events instead of tight polling; fall back to polling the corresponding status endpoint only if no webhook arrives within about 30 minutes.
Known gotchas
Don't send eula attributes on the Create Viewer Launch URL request — report viewing handles EULA click-through inside Turnitin's own UI, and sending it there is unnecessary.
EULA acceptance state is tenant-wide and can change independently of your deploys — a user who accepted an older version must be re-prompted, not silently grandfathered into a newer one.
