QuickStart: Analyze text content

  • Artikkeli

Get started with the Content Safety Studio, REST API, or client SDKs to do basic text moderation. The Azure AI Content Safety service provides you with AI algorithms for flagging objectionable content. Follow these steps to try it out.

For more information on text moderation, see the Harm categories concept page. For API input limits, see the Input requirements section of the Overview.

Note

The sample data and code may contain offensive content. User discretion is advised.

Prerequisites

  • An Azure subscription - Create one for free
  • Once you have your Azure subscription, create a Content Safety resource in the Azure portal to get your key and endpoint. Enter a unique name for your resource, select your subscription, and select a resource group, supported region (see Region availability), and supported pricing tier. Then select Create.
    • The resource takes a few minutes to deploy. After it finishes, Select go to resource. In the left pane, under Resource Management, select Subscription Key and Endpoint. The endpoint and either of the keys are used to call APIs.
  • cURL installed

Analyze text content

The following section walks through a sample request with cURL. Paste the command below into a text editor, and make the following changes.

  1. Replace <endpoint> with the endpoint URL associated with your resource.
  2. Replace <your_subscription_key> with one of the keys that come with your resource.
  3. Optionally, replace the "text" field in the body with your own text you'd like to analyze.

    Tip

    Text size and granularity

    See Input requirements for maximum text length limitations.

curl --location --request POST '<endpoint>/contentsafety/text:analyze?api-version=2024-09-01' \
--header 'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: <your_subscription_key>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
  "text": "I hate you",
  "categories": ["Hate", "Sexual", "SelfHarm", "Violence"],
  "blocklistNames": ["string"],
  "haltOnBlocklistHit": true,
  "outputType": "FourSeverityLevels"
}'

The below fields must be included in the url:

Name Required Description Type
API Version Required This is the API version to be checked. The current version is: api-version=2024-09-01. Example: <endpoint>/contentsafety/text:analyze?api-version=2024-09-01 String

The parameters in the request body are defined in this table:

Name Required Description Type
text Required This is the raw text to be checked. Other non-ascii characters can be included. String
categories Optional This is assumed to be an array of category names. See the Harm categories guide for a list of available category names. If no categories are specified, all four categories are used. We use multiple categories to get scores in a single request. String
blocklistNames Optional Text blocklist Name. Only support following characters: 0-9 A-Z a-z - . _ ~. You could attach multiple list names here. Array
haltOnBlocklistHit Optional When set to true, further analyses of harmful content won't be performed in cases where blocklists are hit. When set to false, all analyses of harmful content will be performed, whether or not blocklists are hit. Boolean
outputType Optional "FourSeverityLevels" or "EightSeverityLevels". Output severities in four or eight levels, the value can be 0,2,4,6 or 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7. String

See the following sample request body:

{
  "text": "I hate you",
  "categories": ["Hate", "Sexual", "SelfHarm", "Violence"],
  "blocklistNames": ["array"],
  "haltOnBlocklistHit": false,
  "outputType": "FourSeverityLevels"
}

Open a command prompt window, paste in the edited cURL command, and run it.

Output

You should see the text moderation results displayed as JSON data in the console output. For example:

{
  "blocklistsMatch": [
    {
      "blocklistName": "string",
      "blocklistItemId": "string",
      "blocklistItemText": "string"
    }
  ],
  "categoriesAnalysis": [
    {
      "category": "Hate",
      "severity": 2
    },
    {
      "category": "SelfHarm",
      "severity": 0
    },
    {
      "category": "Sexual",
      "severity": 0
    },
    {
      "category": "Violence",
      "severity": 0
    }
  ]
}

The JSON fields in the output are defined here:

Name Description Type
categoriesAnalysis Each output class that the API predicts. Classification can be multi-labeled. For example, when a text sample is run through the text moderation model, it could be classified as both sexual content and violence. Harm categories String
Severity The higher the severity of input content, the larger this value is. Integer

Prerequisites

  • An Azure subscription - Create one for free
  • The Visual Studio IDE with workload .NET desktop development enabled. Or if you don't plan on using Visual Studio IDE, you need the current version of .NET Core.
  • Once you have your Azure subscription, create a Content Safety resource in the Azure portal to get your key and endpoint. Enter a unique name for your resource, select your subscription, and select a resource group, supported region (see Region availability), and supported pricing tier. Then select Create.
    • The resource takes a few minutes to deploy. After it finishes, Select go to resource. In the left pane, under Resource Management, select Subscription Key and Endpoint. The endpoint and either of the keys are used to call APIs.

Set up application

Create a new C# application.

Open Visual Studio, and under Get started select Create a new project. Set the template filters to C#/All Platforms/Console. Select Console App (command-line application that can run on .NET on Windows, Linux and macOS) and choose Next. Update the project name to ContentSafetyQuickstart and choose Next. Select .NET 6.0 or above, and choose Create to create the project.

Install the client SDK

Once you've created a new project, install the client SDK by right-clicking on the project solution in the Solution Explorer and selecting Manage NuGet Packages. In the package manager that opens select Browse, and search for Azure.AI.ContentSafety. Select Install.

Create environment variables

In this example, you'll write your credentials to environment variables on the local machine running the application.

To set the environment variable for your key and endpoint, open a console window and follow the instructions for your operating system and development environment.

  • To set the CONTENT_SAFETY_KEY environment variable, replace YOUR_CONTENT_SAFETY_KEY with one of the keys for your resource.
  • To set the CONTENT_SAFETY_ENDPOINT environment variable, replace YOUR_CONTENT_SAFETY_ENDPOINT with the endpoint for your resource.

Important

If you use an API key, store it securely somewhere else, such as in Azure Key Vault. Don't include the API key directly in your code, and never post it publicly.

For more information about AI services security, see Authenticate requests to Azure AI services.

setx CONTENT_SAFETY_KEY 'YOUR_CONTENT_SAFETY_KEY'

setx CONTENT_SAFETY_ENDPOINT 'YOUR_CONTENT_SAFETY_ENDPOINT'

After you add the environment variables, you might need to restart any running programs that will read the environment variables, including the console window.

Analyze text content

From the project directory, open the Program.cs file that was created previously. Paste in the following code:

using System;
using Azure.AI.ContentSafety;

namespace Azure.AI.ContentSafety.Dotnet.Sample
{
  class ContentSafetySampleAnalyzeText
  {
    public static void AnalyzeText()
    {
      // retrieve the endpoint and key from the environment variables created earlier
      string endpoint = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("CONTENT_SAFETY_ENDPOINT");
      string key = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("CONTENT_SAFETY_KEY");

      ContentSafetyClient client = new ContentSafetyClient(new Uri(endpoint), new AzureKeyCredential(key));

      string text = "Your input text";

      var request = new AnalyzeTextOptions(text);

      Response<AnalyzeTextResult> response;
      try
      {
          response = client.AnalyzeText(request);
      }
      catch (RequestFailedException ex)
      {
          Console.WriteLine("Analyze text failed.\nStatus code: {0}, Error code: {1}, Error message: {2}", ex.Status, ex.ErrorCode, ex.Message);
          throw;
      }

      Console.WriteLine("\nAnalyze text succeeded:");
      Console.WriteLine("Hate severity: {0}", response.Value.CategoriesAnalysis.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Category == TextCategory.Hate)?.Severity ?? 0);
      Console.WriteLine("SelfHarm severity: {0}", response.Value.CategoriesAnalysis.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Category == TextCategory.SelfHarm)?.Severity ?? 0);
      Console.WriteLine("Sexual severity: {0}", response.Value.CategoriesAnalysis.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Category == TextCategory.Sexual)?.Severity ?? 0);
      Console.WriteLine("Violence severity: {0}", response.Value.CategoriesAnalysis.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Category == TextCategory.Violence)?.Severity ?? 0);

    }
    static void Main()
    {
        AnalyzeText();
    }
  }
}

Replace "Your input text" with the text content you'd like to use.

Prerequisites

  • An Azure subscription - Create one for free
  • The current version of the Java Development Kit (JDK)
  • The Gradle build tool, or another dependency manager.
  • Once you have your Azure subscription, create a Content Safety resource in the Azure portal to get your key and endpoint. Enter a unique name for your resource, select your subscription, and select a resource group, supported region (see Region availability), and supported pricing tier. Then select Create.
    • The resource takes a few minutes to deploy. After it finishes, Select go to resource. In the left pane, under Resource Management, select Subscription Key and Endpoint. The endpoint and either of the keys are used to call APIs.

Set up application

Create a new Gradle project.

In a console window (such as cmd, PowerShell, or Bash), create a new directory for your app, and navigate to it.

mkdir myapp && cd myapp

Run the gradle init command from your working directory. This command will create essential build files for Gradle, including build.gradle.kts, which is used at runtime to create and configure your application.

gradle init --type basic

When prompted to choose a DSL, select Kotlin.

From your working directory, run the following command to create a project source folder:

mkdir -p src/main/java

Navigate to the new folder and create a file called ContentSafetyQuickstart.java.

Install the client SDK

This quickstart uses the Gradle dependency manager. You can find the client library and information for other dependency managers on the Maven Central Repository.

Locate build.gradle.kts and open it with your preferred IDE or text editor. Then copy in the following build configuration. This configuration defines the project as a Java application whose entry point is the class ContentSafetyQuickstart. It imports the Azure AI Vision library.

plugins {
    java
    application
}
application { 
    mainClass.set("ContentSafetyQuickstart")
}
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
    implementation(group = "com.azure", name = "azure-ai-contentsafety", version = "1.0.0")
}

Create environment variables

In this example, you'll write your credentials to environment variables on the local machine running the application.

To set the environment variable for your key and endpoint, open a console window and follow the instructions for your operating system and development environment.

  • To set the CONTENT_SAFETY_KEY environment variable, replace YOUR_CONTENT_SAFETY_KEY with one of the keys for your resource.
  • To set the CONTENT_SAFETY_ENDPOINT environment variable, replace YOUR_CONTENT_SAFETY_ENDPOINT with the endpoint for your resource.

Important

If you use an API key, store it securely somewhere else, such as in Azure Key Vault. Don't include the API key directly in your code, and never post it publicly.

For more information about AI services security, see Authenticate requests to Azure AI services.

setx CONTENT_SAFETY_KEY 'YOUR_CONTENT_SAFETY_KEY'

setx CONTENT_SAFETY_ENDPOINT 'YOUR_CONTENT_SAFETY_ENDPOINT'

After you add the environment variables, you might need to restart any running programs that will read the environment variables, including the console window.

Analyze text content

Open ContentSafetyQuickstart.java in your preferred editor or IDE and paste in the following code. Replace <your text sample> with the text content you'd like to use.
