## About

## What it does
Spam Detection lets you submit text content and check whether it is likely to be spam. Send a `content` string in the job request, then use the returned `job_id` and `status_url` to track processing asynchronously.

The submission response gives you a `job_id` and a `status_url` for polling. When the job completes, the status endpoint returns a `data` object with `attributes.status` and, when available, a `result` object containing `pass`, `score`, and `reason`.

Use Spam Detection when you need to screen user-generated text before publishing or routing it into a workflow. Typical cases include contact-form submissions, comments, sign-up messages, and other free-text inputs where you want an automated spam check without blocking the main request path.

Because the API is asynchronous, it fits batch processing and background moderation flows. You send the text once, then read the job status until the result is ready.
