Bad Words Filter API

Detect and censor any bad words included in a text. Be able to filter words and have a safe environment on your site.

About the API:

The filter uses natural language processing (NLP) to decode the content into logical words ignoring punctuation, case, formatting, etc. We also apply word transformations to detect obfuscation of bad words like repeating characters, spurious whitespace, and special characters. As well as detection and extraction of bad words you can also use this API to censor bad words from the supplied text.

 

What this API receives and what your API provides (input/output)?

The API will receive a string text or a URL and it will return a list of all the bad words recognized. Also, you can select a character that will be replacing these bad words. It could be an asterisk or a different word of your choice. 

 

What are the most common uses cases of this API?

This API is ideal for those users that want to filter any content that has bad words in it. It could be an article by your content creators that you want to upload on your site. Maybe you want to extract text from a blog or post and want to avoid bad words. 

This API is excellent for those who want to maintain a bad-words-free environment on their site. Prevent users from setting any offensive nicknames, if you have an integrated chat on your site, avoid toxicity with ease with this API. Censor any bad behavior right away! 

 

Are there any limitations with your plans?

Besides API call limitations per month, there are no other limitations. Do not worry about characters. 

API Documentation

Endpoints


Pass any URL of a post or article you want to check its content for bad words. 

It also receives text strings directly. Check and censor, if you want, any bad words found in the texts. 

You can select a "censor-character" that will be shown instead of the censorable word detected. You will be one step ahead!

Also, you can choose a "catalog":

  • strict - this database of bad words includes profanity, obscenity, sexual, rude, cuss, dirty, swear, and objectionable words and phrases. This catalog is suitable for environments of all ages including educational or children's content
  • obscene - like the strict catalog but does not include any mild profanities, idiomatic phrases, or words that are considered formal terminology. This catalog is suitable for adult environments where certain types of bad words are considered OK

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.

The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.

Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]

Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.

API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.

Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.

To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.

To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, look at the β€˜X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ header. For example, if your plan allows 1000 requests per month and you've used 100, this header will show 900.

To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ header. For instance, if your plan includes 1000 requests per month, this header will display 1000.

The β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3600, it means 3600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.

You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]
