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

## What is an Explicit Content Detection API? 

The Explicit Content Detection technology detects adult content in an image or a video considered inappropriate for minors that includes nudity, sexual activity and pornography. This type of content can be detected in pictures, movies, cartoons or animations. The Explicit Content Detection API annotates any object related to adult content with a tag and works on the basis of a probability score between 0 and 1. It also returns an indication of whether the image meets the conditions (true or false).
