PurgoMalum

API

Free profanity and obscenity content validation API

Overview

PurgoMalum is a RESTful API for detecting and filtering profanity, obscenity, and offensive content. It offers endpoints to check if text contains profanity (boolean result) and filter text by replacing offensive terms with symbols or custom strings. Responses support JSON, XML, or plain text formats. Key use cases include moderating user-generated content (comments, chat messages), cleaning input data for apps, and ensuring content appropriateness in public platforms. It’s easy to integrate with minimal setup.
