⏺️Detoxify endpoints

Detoxify is an easy-to-use Python library that detects hateful or offensive language.

Detoxify is an open-source tool to help researchers and practitioners identify potential toxic comments.

Detoxify models are trained to predict toxic comments on 3 Jigsaw challenges: Toxic comment classification, Unintended Bias in Toxic comments, and Multilingual toxic comment classification.

Detoxify endpoints

Detoxify is offered as a set of two standalone text-only API endpoints so that you can avoid the hassle of hosting open-source models.

Any requests you send should meet the requirements listed on Features and requirements.
