Moderate with our pre-set severity levels

The Sightengine API classifies images containing alcohol into different levels of severity thanks to its deep understanding of the context and overall situation. Using those severity levels, you can define smart rules in line with your community guidelines: either block any reference to alcohol, or implement adaptive filters depending on the situation and severity level. Here are the available levels:

Alcohol & minor

Level 1

Minor with alcohol
Alcohol & driving

Level 1

Drunk or passed out

Level 1

Adapt your filters to the nature of the media: real-life or illustration...

Alcoholic beverages can be present in real-life images or videos, or in animated ones such as cartoons, drawings, comics, logos or paintings. You might want to handle those situations differently. With Sightengine, you can.

... and to the focus of the image

Adapt filters to the focus of the image or video. Beers, wine bottles and cocktails might be ok when they are in the background or barely visible, yet could be a no-no if they are the main focus of the image.

You get to determine if the focus should be taken into account with your own custom rules.
