Running Content Moderation

To run content moderation:

resp = moonshine.run(
  flow="core/content-moderation",
  index="your-index",
  video_id="[file_id].mp4"
)

Content moderation only runs on one video at a time.

​

Limiting Moderation Topics

To limit the topics that are moderated, you can use the topics parameter. For example, to only moderate content related to drugs, you can use the following code:

resp = moonshine.run(
  flow="core/content-moderation",
  index="your-index",
  video_id="[file_id].mp4",
  topics=["drugs"]
)

​

Using Custom Prompts

To use a custom moderation prompt:

resp = moonshine.run(
  flow="core/content-moderation",
  index="your-index",
  video_id="[file_id].mp4",
  prompt = "description of custom moderation"
)

​
