POST Comment Moderation API
/api/v1/ai/comment-moderate
Moderate social media comments to detect spam, abuse, harassment, toxicity, sexual content, or promotional spam without over-classifying customer criticism.
Architecture Role & AI Definition
Comment Moderation API provides low-latency, deterministic REST execution for production engineering workflows. It processes structured payloads with strict schema validation, returns uniform JSON envelopes, and is secured via SHA-256 API key authentication with atomic credit pre-authorization locks.
Production Reliability Guidelines
Configure a hard client timeout of 5 to 8 seconds. If network latency spikes, cancel connection to avoid holding open sockets in worker pools.
Upon receiving 429 Rate Limit or transient 5xx, pause with exponential backoff:
wait = min(max_backoff, base * 2^attempt + jitter).
RSFlowHub acquires an atomic lock verifying base credits before model invocation. If validation fails, zero credits are deducted.
