NSFW

Overview

The nsfw task detects explicit or unsafe content in images and videos.

It analyzes the visual content and returns boolean flags, severity levels, and descriptions for categories including nudity, sexual content, violence, and gore.

Creating an NSFW task

curl -X POST "https://api.ittybit.com/tasks" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ITTYBIT_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
  "url": "https://example.com/image-or-video.mp4",
  "kind": "nsfw"
}'

The nsfw task has no configurable options — all analysis is returned by default.

When the task succeeds, the output JSON file contains:

{
  "kind": "nsfw",
  "nudity": false,
  "sexual": false,
  "violence": true,
  "gore": false,
  "categories": ["violence"],
  "severity": {

  },

  "timeline": []
}
