Client Creation
With API Key
import com.azure.ai.contentsafety.ContentSafetyClient;
import com.azure.ai.contentsafety.ContentSafetyClientBuilder;
import com.azure.ai.contentsafety.BlocklistClient;
import com.azure.ai.contentsafety.BlocklistClientBuilder;
import com.azure.core.credential.KeyCredential;
String endpoint = System.getenv("CONTENT_SAFETY_ENDPOINT");
String key = System.getenv("CONTENT_SAFETY_KEY");
ContentSafetyClient contentSafetyClient = new ContentSafetyClientBuilder()
.credential(new KeyCredential(key))
.endpoint(endpoint)
.buildClient();
BlocklistClient blocklistClient = new BlocklistClientBuilder()
.credential(new KeyCredential(key))
.endpoint(endpoint)
.buildClient();
With DefaultAzureCredential
import com.azure.identity.DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder;
ContentSafetyClient client = new ContentSafetyClientBuilder()
.credential(new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build())
.endpoint(endpoint)
.buildClient();
Key Concepts
Harm Categories
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Hate | Discriminatory language based on identity groups |
| Sexual | Sexual content, relationships, acts |
| Violence | Physical harm, weapons, injury |
| Self-harm | Self-injury, suicide-related content |
Severity Levels
- Text: 0-7 scale (default outputs 0, 2, 4, 6)
- Image: 0, 2, 4, 6 (trimmed scale)
Core Patterns
Analyze Text
import com.azure.ai.contentsafety.models.*;
AnalyzeTextResult result = contentSafetyClient.analyzeText(
new AnalyzeTextOptions("This is text to analyze"));
for (TextCategoriesAnalysis category : result.getCategoriesAnalysis()) {
System.out.printf("Category: %s, Severity: %d%n",
category.getCategory(),
category.getSeverity());
}
Analyze Text with Options
AnalyzeTextOptions options = new AnalyzeTextOptions("Text to analyze")
.setCategories(Arrays.asList(
TextCategory.HATE,
TextCategory.VIOLENCE))
.setOutputType(AnalyzeTextOutputType.EIGHT_SEVERITY_LEVELS);
AnalyzeTextResult result = contentSafetyClient.analyzeText(options);
Analyze Text with Blocklist
AnalyzeTextOptions options = new AnalyzeTextOptions("I h*te you and want to k*ll you")
.setBlocklistNames(Arrays.asList("my-blocklist"))
.setHaltOnBlocklistHit(true);
AnalyzeTextResult result = contentSafetyClient.analyzeText(options);
if (result.getBlocklistsMatch() != null) {
for (TextBlocklistMatch match : result.getBlocklistsMatch()) {
System.out.printf("Blocklist: %s, Item: %s, Text: %s%n",
match.getBlocklistName(),
match.getBlocklistItemId(),
match.getBlocklistItemText());
}
}
Analyze Image
import com.azure.ai.contentsafety.models.*;
import com.azure.core.util.BinaryData;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
// From file
byte[] imageBytes = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get("image.png"));
ContentSafetyImageData imageData = new ContentSafetyImageData()
.setContent(BinaryData.fromBytes(imageBytes));
AnalyzeImageResult result = contentSafetyClient.analyzeImage(
new AnalyzeImageOptions(imageData));
for (ImageCategoriesAnalysis category : result.getCategoriesAnalysis()) {
System.out.printf("Category: %s, Severity: %d%n",
category.getCategory(),
category.getSeverity());
}
Analyze Image from URL
ContentSafetyImageData imageData = new ContentSafetyImageData()
.setBlobUrl("https://example.com/image.jpg");
AnalyzeImageResult result = contentSafetyClient.analyzeImage(
new AnalyzeImageOptions(imageData));
Blocklist Management
Create or Update Blocklist
import com.azure.core.http.rest.RequestOptions;
import com.azure.core.http.rest.Response;
import com.azure.core.util.BinaryData;
import java.util.Map;
Map<String, String> description = Map.of("description", "Custom blocklist");
BinaryData resource = BinaryData.fromObject(description);
Response<BinaryData> response = blocklistClient.createOrUpdateTextBlocklistWithResponse(
"my-blocklist", resource, new RequestOptions());
