Keep Safety Within the Conversation
What does a content moderation API do for chat?
AI content moderation analyzes messages and media for risks such as abuse, sexual content and unwanted advertising. Tencent RTC connects these checks with content labels and moderation recommendations. Combine model-based detection with custom word lists and contextual merge detection to identify violations that a simple keyword filter may miss.
Which message types can a content moderation API check?
Yes. Chat Content Understanding supports all four formats. Text and image checks return results synchronously; audio and video checks return results asynchronously through webhooks. Video policies can inspect frames, audio or both. For media in your own storage, connect violation callbacks to your app’s display and access controls.
Can I customize content moderation API rules and actions?
Yes. Configure risk categories, sensitivity and custom word libraries by scenario, including direct messages, group chat and profiles. Choose whether to intercept violating content or suspected content as well. Use results to drive your application’s escalation rules and connect Chat controls such as group muting. AI recommendations and account-level actions remain separate decisions.
How do content moderation API results connect to human review and analytics?
Use the moderation console to filter content, and send results to your backend with message, sender and violation details. Combine these with user reports in your review tools. Track confirmed violations, overturned decisions and review times to tune policies. Your application manages reviewer assignment, appeals and decision-history reporting.
How do I enable the content moderation API for an international app?
Request access to Chat Content Understanding, which currently requires allowlisting. The documented on-demand moderation API currently supports Singapore-hosted applications. Confirm supported languages and models for your audience, then test local slang, mixed-language messages and false positives. Moderation service charges are separate from your Chat messaging plan.
How do I connect a content moderation API to human review?
Route supported review results to your application’s policy workflow. Store the decision context, provide appeals where appropriate and define how moderators handle uncertain results.
Can a content moderation API stop every harmful chat message?
No automated review is perfect. Check supported text and media categories, tune your policy and pair review results with reporting, blocking and human escalation.
