Using Content Moderation

You can access Content Moderation on a web-based service management platform, that is, the management console, or using HTTPS-based APIs.

• You can subscribe to Content Moderation on the management console and view the number of successful and failed API calls.
• If you access Content Moderation through open APIs, you need to integrate Content Moderation to a third-party system.

The procedure is as follows:

1. Apply for a service.

   You can apply for a service on the management console. For details about how to apply for a service, see Applying for a Service in the Content Moderation API Reference.

   

   • You only need to apply for a service once.
   • This service is available only to enterprise users currently.

2. Obtain request authentication.
   You can use either of the following authentication methods when calling APIs:

   • Token-based authentication: Requests are authenticated by using tokens. For details, see Token-based Authentication in the Content Moderation API Reference.
   • AK/SK-based authentication: Requests are encrypted using the access key ID (AK) and secret access key (SK). AK/SK-based authentication is more secure. For details, see AK/SK-based Authentication in the Content Moderation API Reference.

3. Call an API.

   Content Moderation provides services through APIs. For details about how to call the APIs, see the Content Moderation API Reference.

4. View service usage.
   • You can view the number of API calls on the Content Moderation management console.
   • You can view historical data about successful and failed calls on the console by clicking View Metric.
