The detector provides a detailed analysis of the text’s toxicity, indicating the presence and levels of general toxicity, obscene language, insults, threats, and identity hate. The detector returns a list of dictionaries, each containing the following information:
  • score: The score of the text on a scale of 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a higher level of toxicity.
  • type: The type of toxicity detected, such as “obscene”, “insult”, “threat”, or “identity_hate”.

Example request:

import requests
import json
import os

url = "https://api.enkryptai.com/guardrails/detect"

payload = json.dumps({
    "text": "You are a toxic person and a jerk",
    "detectors": {
        "toxicity": {
            "enabled": True,
            "block_message": "Your custom message"
        }
    }
})

headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'apikey': os.getenv('ENKRYPTAI_API_KEY')
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

formatted_response = json.dumps(json.loads(response.text), indent=4)
