Use for: I need to check whether an image URL contains nudity, Rate a user-uploaded photo for SFW content, Filter classified ad images before publishing, Score an avatar URL for adult content

Not supported: Does not handle video, audio, or text moderation, and does not perform face recognition or general object tagging — use for still-image NSFW rating only.

ModerateContent is a free image moderation service that classifies whether an image contains adult or suggestive material. The API exposes a single GET endpoint that accepts an image URL plus an API key and returns a rating label (everyone, teen, adult) along with a numeric confidence score and predicted nudity probabilities. It is designed for forums, classifieds, and user-generated content sites that need a quick safe-for-work check before publishing media.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Image Moderation API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Classified Ad Photo Screening

Online marketplaces and classified-ad sites screen seller-uploaded photos before they appear in listings. The single GET / endpoint with a key and image_url query parameter returns a rating string and numeric scores, letting moderation logic auto-approve safe images, queue borderline cases, and reject adult content. Integration is a single HTTP call, typically deployed in under a day.

For a list of classified ad image URLs, call ModerateContent and return only the URLs rated 'everyone'

Avatar and Profile Picture Filter

Apply a strict everyone-only policy to user avatars and profile pictures on family-friendly platforms. Hosting the image first then passing the public URL to the moderation API lets the platform reject any upload that returns an adult or teen rating before it is shown to other users. Suitable for kids' platforms and education products.

Upload the user's chosen avatar to a temporary CDN, call ModerateContent with the URL, and only persist the avatar if the rating is 'everyone'

Agent-Driven Bulk Image Review with Jentic

Run a Jentic-connected agent over a backlog of legacy user-uploaded images to retroactively flag content that violates current SFW policy. The agent searches Jentic for the moderation operation, loads the schema, and processes the queue, writing flagged image IDs to a review spreadsheet for human moderators.

Iterate over 10,000 historical avatar URLs, classify each via ModerateContent, and produce a CSV of those with an adult rating for review

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

ModerateContent API keys are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem) and injected as the key query parameter at execution time. Agents never see the raw key.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent (e.g., 'rate an image for nudity') and Jentic returns the GET / moderation operation with its input schema, so the agent submits the URL without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct ModerateContent integration is fast — under a day for the single endpoint. Through Jentic: minutes to search, load, and execute the first classification.

FAQs

Specific to using Image Moderation API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Image Moderation API use?

Although the OpenAPI security block is empty, the live API requires a free key parameter on every GET request to https://api.moderatecontent.com/moderate/. Sign up at moderatecontent.com to receive the key. Through Jentic, the key is stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and is injected at execution time so the agent never handles it directly.

Can I rate an image without uploading it?

Yes. The single GET / endpoint accepts a publicly reachable image URL via the url query parameter, fetches it server-side, and returns a rating label plus numeric scores. There is no multipart upload — the image must already be hosted somewhere ModerateContent can reach.

What are the rate limits for the Image Moderation API?

The free tier is throttled to roughly one request per second per key with a daily volume cap that depends on the account; paid plans raise both limits. The OpenAPI spec does not declare exact numbers, so production agents should respect 429 responses and back off.

How do I screen an image through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, then search Jentic for 'rate an image for adult content'. Jentic returns the GET / operation on api.moderatecontent.com with its query schema. Load the schema, pass the image url, and execute — Jentic resolves the API key from the vault.

Is the Image Moderation API free?

ModerateContent advertises a free tier suitable for low-volume use. Higher request rates and SLAs require a paid plan. The free tier is enough to prototype and ship a small classified-ad or forum moderation flow without payment.
