Developers building AI applications who need to detect and manage harmful content to ensure safe and policy-compliant user interactions
About OpenAI Moderation
The OpenAI Moderation API provides developers with a dedicated endpoint to automatically evaluate whether text or images contain potentially harmful or policy-violating content, enabling safer AI applications through real-time filtering and classification. It works by analyzing inputs (and optionally outputs) and returning structured results that indicate whether the content is flagged, along with detailed category labels such as hate, harassment, self-harm, sexual content, or violence. It is designed to be integrated directly into application workflows, allowing developers to take immediate action, such as blocking, filtering, or escalating content, before it reaches end users. Moderation models like “omni-moderation-latest” are optimized for speed and accuracy, supporting scalable use across high-volume applications while maintaining consistent safety standards.
