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}`);
}
