Python Profanity Filter

import os, requests

resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.theprofanityapi.com/v1/check",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['PROFANITY_API_KEY']}"},

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.
