Quickstart Ruby
Learn how to moderate content using Moderation API’s Ruby SDK
Prerequisites
You'll need an API key to use the Moderation API. To get one, you'll need to create a project.
1. Install the SDK
2. Submit content
Grab the API key from your project and begin submitting text, images, or other media to your project for moderation.
Dry-run mode: If you want to analyze production data but don't want to block content, enable "dry-run" in your project settings.
With dry-run enabled, the API still analyzes content but it always returns
flagged: false- yet content still shows in the review queue. This way you can implement your moderation workflows and start testing your project configuration without actually blocking content.
3. Review flagged content (optional)
If the AI flags the content, it will appear in the Review Queue.
Head to the review queue to validate that the content is submitted correctly.
Review queue for reviewing and improving automated moderation
You can use review queues to implement moderation workflows or simply check how the AI is performing.
