Data Validation
Free REST and XML API for profanity, obscenity, and vulgarity content moderation without authentication
PurgoMalum Content Validator API is best for community platforms, social apps, edtech tools, and games needing instant text sanitization
PurgoMalum is a free REST and XML web service for filtering profanity, obscenity, and offensive language from text strings. It evaluates input text against an extensive internal profanity database and allows developers to substitute offensive terms with asterisks, custom replacement characters, or fill words.
It also supports custom blacklists and white-lists. In Nigeria, web platforms, community discussion boards, educational chat rooms, and e-commerce product reviews use PurgoMalum to automatically sanitize user-generated content and keep public forums safe without complicated NLP models.
