Core response fields

This guide focuses on the fields used in application workflows. Responses may include additional metadata; consult the API listing for the full schema.

Field	Type	Meaning
`flagged`	boolean	Whether the image is flagged by the API.
`categories[].name`	string	Detected moderation category.
`categories[].parent`	string	Parent category in the moderation hierarchy.
`categories[].confidence`	number	Confidence associated with the category, from 0 to 100.

Interpreting the result

Map category labels and confidence scores to your content policy: allow uploads, hold them for review, or block matching categories. A flagged value of false means the analysis returned no flagged categories; evaluate results alongside your application’s review rules.
