Profanity Filter API

Utilities

1 tokens / call

Detect and censor profanity in user-generated text, in English and Spanish. 550+ curated words across three severity tiers — mild (hell, crap), strong (ordinary profanity and sexual vulgarity) and slur (identity-based slurs) — so you choose what to filter with min_severity instead of over-censoring: at min_severity=strong, "jerk chicken" and "door knob" pass clean. Whole-word, case-insensitive matching with leetspeak normalization (sh!t, @ss, d1ck), censor-evasion handling (f*ck, f.u.c.k, fuk, fuuuck) and accent folding for Spanish (cabrón matches cabron). No false positives on clean words like "classic" or "Scunthorpe". Returns matched words with per-word severity, an overall max_severity, a count, and a censored version of the text.
