NSFW - Moderation API

NSFW (not safe for work) policies cover content that’s inappropriate for general audiences — explicit material, graphic violence, profanity, and content related to self-harm.

Policies

`id`	Type	Supported	What it does
`sexual`	`classifier`	text, image, video, audio	Sexually explicit or suggestive content.
`flirtation`	`classifier`	text, audio	Compliments on looks, subtle innuendo, pickup lines, flirtatious behavior. Lighter than `sexual`.
`profanity`	`classifier`	text, audio	Swearing, vulgar language, offensive words.
`violence`	`classifier`	text, image, video, audio	Violent content, threats, or graphic violence.
`self_harm`	`classifier`	text, image, video, audio	Self-harm, suicide, and eating-disorder content.

Reading the result

const sexual = response.policies.find(p => p.id === "sexual");
if (sexual?.flagged) {
  // Send to review queue or reject outright depending on threshold.
}

self_harm content often warrants a different response than other NSFW flags — for example, surfacing a support resource link rather than just rejecting the post. Use the recommendation.action plus the policy id to branch.
