The Profanity API

It provides developers with a reliable, maintained service for language moderation that updates its detection patterns as new slang, variants, and circumvention techniques emerge addressing a moving target that static keyword lists cannot track effectively.

The API supports multiple languages and handles the evasion techniques that users employ to bypass simple filters character substitutions, spacing tricks, and contextual disguises.

The detection is contextual where possible recognizing that the same word may be profanity in one context and acceptable in another and configurable to reflect the moderation standards appropriate for different audiences and platform types.

The Profanity API serves social platform developers, gaming companies managing chat systems, education technology platforms protecting younger users, and enterprise communication tools where professional language standards must be enforced. The maintained API model means the service requires no ongoing filtering logic maintenance from the client the provider handles updates as language evolves.
