Fastify Profanity Filter
Register a Fastify preHandler hook to screen payloads before your handlers run.
Quick start in Fastify
fastify.post("/comments", {
preHandler: async (req, reply) => {
const r = await fetch("https://api.theprofanityapi.com/v1/check", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.PROFANITY_API_KEY}`,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({ text: req.body.text, context: "comment", mode: "balanced" }),
});
if ((await r.json()).flagged) reply.code(422).send({ error: "flagged" });
},
}, async (req) => { /* save */ }); Why context-aware matters
A plain word list flags "this game is sick" or medical text full of
anatomical terms. The Profanity API runs a five-layer pipeline that
scores intent, so "die" in a gaming taunt and "die" in a real
threat are handled differently. Pick a context and the engine
adjusts strictness automatically.
