*In this tutorial, you will learn how to use Explicit Content Detection API in 5 minutes using JavaScript. Eden AI provides an easy and developer-friendly API that allows you to detect explicit contents in images.*

‍

## **What is an [Explicit Content Detection](http://www.edenai.co/feature/explicit-content-detection?referral=how-to-detect-explicit-content-javascript) API?**

Explicit Content Detection is the process of identifying and tagging images that contain explicit or offensive content, such as nudity, sexually suggestive or explicit images, hate symbols, and other forms of offensive content. The method involves the use of Computer Vision and Machine Learning techniques, including image recognition algorithms, object detection, and other computer vision methods, to analyze and classify explicit content in images.

The goal of Explicit Content Detection is to help organizations, such as social media platforms, protect their users from potentially harmful or offensive content and ensure compliance with legal and industry regulations.‍

‍

## **Get Started with Explicit Content Detection API using JavaScript**

The first step is to set Axios, a promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js, that will allow you to call Eden AI API.

‍

Next, you'll need to initialize the File System module in order to access local files on your computer.

‍

Finally, you'll need to create your multipart/formdata parameters form:
