Check a piece of text for profanity by sending it with the required `text` field.

```

#### What you'll get back

Returns a JSON object. The schema does not declare any specific top-level fields, so the exact response shape may vary.

```json

  "contains_profanity": true,
  "match_count": 2,
  "matches": [
    "word_1",
    "word_2"

    {
      "source": "censor-text/profanity-list"
    }
  ]
}
```

## About

## What it does
Profanity Check lets you send text and get back a profanity analysis for that content. Use it when you need to screen user-generated text before publishing it in a comment, chat message, review, or profile field.

Send a `text` string, and optionally set `language` with a 2- to 5-character code. The endpoint is designed for simple moderation workflows where you want to detect offensive language without building your own word lists or rules engine.

Use Profanity Check in sign-up forms, community platforms, moderation queues, or content pipelines where unfiltered text could create trust or safety issues. It fits into pre-submit validation as well as post-submit review.

The response returns a structured result for the text check. Because the output schema is open-ended, treat the returned fields as the service's profanity analysis payload and inspect the response directly in your integration.
