        using the same child-safety classifier and rubric BudgetPixel runs on all

        platform content. **Synchronous**: the response carries a boolean verdict,

        a confidence score, and a short reason.


        **Inputs, formats, and size caps** are identical to

        [`POST /v1/moderations/nsfw`](/api-reference/moderation/rate-content-nsfw-level):

        `prompt`, up to 10 `images` (10 MB each), one `video` (100 MB / 5 minutes,

        5 frames sampled). At least one input is required.


        **Pricing: 2 credits base + 3 per image + 15 for a video.** Estimate via

        [`POST /v1/cost`](/api-reference/models/estimate-the-cost-of-a-request) with

        `{"model": "moderation-csam", "images": 2}`. Charged on success only.


        **Child-safety notice:** submitted media is retained privately for ~1 day.

        Content our classifier flags as suspected CSAM is **preserved and escalated

        for human review**, and confirmed material is reported to the relevant

        authorities (e.g. NCMEC) with the submitting account actioned. Do not submit

        content you believe is real CSAM — report it to law enforcement instead.

    post:
      description: 'Rate text, images, and/or one video on BudgetPixel''s 4-level NSFW scale —

        the same classifier and scale the platform itself moderates with.

        **Synchronous**: the response carries the verdict.


        **Levels:**

        - `0` (`sfw`) — safe for work. Non-sexual violence, action, and blood stay here.

        - `1` (`teen`) — mildly suggestive (swimwear/underwear in a non-sexual context).

        - `2` (`mature`) — partial nudity or overtly sexual posing, no genitals.

        - `3` (`x-rated`) — explicit sexual content, visible genitals, or extreme gore.


        **Inputs** (at least one required): `prompt` (text), `images` (up to 10, max 10 MB

        each), `video` (one, max 100 MB and 5 minutes — 5 frames are sampled). Media

        values accept a public URL, an uploaded-file URL from

        [`POST /v1/uploads`](/api-reference/files/upload-input-media), a data URI, or raw

        base64. Everything is downscaled before classification; the rating is for the

        submission **as a whole** (highest applicable level), with one overall `reason`.


        **Pricing: 2 credits base + 3 per image + 15 for a video.** Estimate via

        [`POST /v1/cost`](/api-reference/models/estimate-the-cost-of-a-request) with

        `{"model": "moderation-nsfw", "images": 2, "video": true}`. Charged on success

        only — a classifier failure costs nothing.


        Submitted media is retained privately for ~1 day (for abuse review), then

        deleted automatically.
