begentle 0.1.1

A module for filtering text with profanity using Google's Perspective API.

begentle is a package for detecting toxic language using the Perspective API (more info at PerspectiveAPI.com). Google already has a Python module for this, but I think it’s too complex, so I created my own.

Getting Started

First you will need a Google Cloud project API key with the Perspective API enabled.

Follow these two tutorials: | Tutorial 1: Getting Started | Tutorial 2: Enable the API

Once you have your API key install the package:

pip install begentle

and use it like so:

from begentle import CommentAnalyzer
analyzer = CommentAnalyzer('YOUR_API_KEY')
comment = 'You suck! I hate you, never come back.'
print(analyzer.analyze(comment))

You should see something like 0.9543847. This is a value between 0 and 1 representing toxicity. Generally toxic phrases return a value above 0.9. And that’s it!
