Description
How to Use
1. Send a POST request to `/v1/text/profanity` with the `text` field. 2. Check `contains_profanity` (boolean) for a quick pass/fail result. 3. Inspect the `matches` array for the specific words flagged and their positions. 4. Use `count` to decide on escalation thresholds.
About This Tool
The Profanity Detection endpoint scans text for offensive language and returns a boolean flag along with a list of flagged words and their character positions. Useful for content moderation pipelines where user-submitted text needs to be screened before publication.
The word list covers common English profanities. Detection is case-insensitive and handles common letter substitutions.
Why Use This Tool
- User-generated content — Screen comments, reviews, and forum posts before publication
- Chat applications — Flag or block offensive messages in real-time chat systems
- Content moderation queue — Auto-route flagged submissions to a human review queue
- Brand safety — Prevent offensive content from appearing alongside paid advertising
