Single text
POST /v1/moderate returns a synchronous moderation decision with score, action, category flags, explanations, and request_id.
Product Overview
Everything you need
to run moderation in production.
Alecto Core is an explainable moderation API with the operational platform around it, including projects, API keys, webhooks, team roles, usage visibility, and billing controls. Hosted review is available when it helps and stays optional, off by default.
Who this is for
- Small teams shipping chat, comments, profiles, communities, or support workflows.
- Products that need explainability and human review, not just a severity score.
- Teams that want API and dashboard operations to fit together cleanly.
What it is not
- Not a large-scale trust-and-safety suite for dedicated moderation departments.
- Not a black-box tool that asks you to accept unexplained outcomes.
- Not a keyword filter with no operational workflow around it.
API endpoints
Batch
POST /v1/moderate/batch handles up to 50 items per call with caller-provided IDs for correlation.
Handle checks
POST /v1/moderate/handle applies handle-specific normalisation for signup and profile safety checks.
Structured fields
POST /v1/moderate/structured moderates profile and body fields in one request with per-field outputs.
Feedback loop
POST /v1/feedback lets you correct outcomes by request_id to improve scoring over time.
