Azure AI Content Safety REST SDK for TypeScript

Analyze text and images for harmful content with customizable blocklists.

Installation

npm install @azure-rest/ai-content-safety @azure/identity @azure/core-auth

Environment Variables

CONTENT_SAFETY_ENDPOINT=https://<resource>.cognitiveservices.azure.com
CONTENT_SAFETY_KEY=<api-key>

Authentication

Important: This is a REST client. ContentSafetyClient is a function, not a class.

API Key

import ContentSafetyClient from "@azure-rest/ai-content-safety";
import { AzureKeyCredential } from "@azure/core-auth";

const client = ContentSafetyClient(
  process.env.CONTENT_SAFETY_ENDPOINT!,
  new AzureKeyCredential(process.env.CONTENT_SAFETY_KEY!)
);

DefaultAzureCredential

import ContentSafetyClient from "@azure-rest/ai-content-safety";
import { DefaultAzureCredential } from "@azure/identity";

const client = ContentSafetyClient(
  process.env.CONTENT_SAFETY_ENDPOINT!,
  new DefaultAzureCredential()
);

Analyze Text

import ContentSafetyClient, { isUnexpected } from "@azure-rest/ai-content-safety";

const result = await client.path("/text:analyze").post({
  body: {
    text: "Text content to analyze",
    categories: ["Hate", "Sexual", "Violence", "SelfHarm"],
    outputType: "FourSeverityLevels"  // or "EightSeverityLevels"
  }
});

if (isUnexpected(result)) {
  throw result.body;
}

for (const analysis of result.body.categoriesAnalysis) {
  console.log(`${analysis.category}: severity ${analysis.severity}`);
}

Analyze Image

Base64 Content

import { readFileSync } from "node:fs";

const imageBuffer = readFileSync("./image.png");
const base64Image = imageBuffer.toString("base64");

const result = await client.path("/image:analyze").post({
  body: {
    image: { content: base64Image }
  }
});

if (isUnexpected(result)) {
  throw result.body;
}

for (const analysis of result.body.categoriesAnalysis) {
  console.log(`${analysis.category}: severity ${analysis.severity}`);
}

Blob URL

const result = await client.path("/image:analyze").post({
  body: {
    image: { blobUrl: "https://storage.blob.core.windows.net/container/image.png" }
  }
});

Blocklist Management

Create Blocklist

const result = await client
  .path("/text/blocklists/{blocklistName}", "my-blocklist")
  .patch({
    contentType: "application/merge-patch+json",
    body: {
      description: "Custom blocklist for prohibited terms"
    }
  });

if (isUnexpected(result)) {
  throw result.body;
}

console.log(`Created: ${result.body.blocklistName}`);

Add Items to Blocklist

const result = await client
  .path("/text/blocklists/{blocklistName}:addOrUpdateBlocklistItems", "my-blocklist")
  .post({
    body: {
      blocklistItems: [
        { text: "prohibited-term-1", description: "First blocked term" },
        { text: "prohibited-term-2", description: "Second blocked term" }
      ]
    }
  });

if (isUnexpected(result)) {
  throw result.body;
}

for (const item of result.body.blocklistItems ?? []) {
  console.log(`Added: ${item.blocklistItemId}`);
}

Analyze with Blocklist

const result = await client.path("/text:analyze").post({
  body: {
    text: "Text that might contain blocked terms",
    blocklistNames: ["my-blocklist"],
    haltOnBlocklistHit: false
  }
});

if (isUnexpected(result)) {
  throw result.body;
}

// Check blocklist matches
if (result.body.blocklistsMatch) {
  for (const match of result.body.blocklistsMatch) {
    console.log(`Blocked: "${match.blocklistItemText}" from ${match.blocklistName}`);
  }
}

List Blocklists

const result = await client.path("/text/blocklists").get();

if (isUnexpected(result)) {
  throw result.body;
}

for (const blocklist of result.body.value ?? []) {
  console.log(`${blocklist.blocklistName}: ${blocklist.description}`);
}

Delete Blocklist

await client.path("/text/blocklists/{blocklistName}", "my-blocklist").delete();
