    2. Input Parameters

    The following request parameter list only provides API request parameters and some common parameters. For the complete common parameter list, see Common Request Parameters.

    Parameter Name Required Type Description
    Action Yes String Common Params. The value used for this API: ImageModeration.
    Version Yes String Common Params. The value used for this API: 2020-12-29.
    Region Yes String Common Params. For more information, please see the list of regions supported by the product.
    BizType No String This field indicates the specific number of the policy, which is used for API scheduling and can be configured in the CMS console. If the Biztype parameter is passed in, a moderation policy will be used based on the business scenario; otherwise, the default moderation policy will be used.
    Note: Biztype can contain 3–32 digits, letters, and underscores; different Biztype values are associated with different business scenarios and moderation policies, so you need to verify the Biztype before calling this API.
    DataId No String This field indicates the data ID assigned by you to the object to be detected for easier file identification and management.
    It can contain up to 64 letters, digits, and special symbols (_-@#).
    FileContent No String This field indicates the Base64 encoding of the image to be detected. The image size cannot exceed 5 MB. A resolution of 256x256 or higher is recommended; otherwise, the recognition effect may be affected.
    Note: you must enter a value for either this field or FileUrl.
    FileUrl No String URL of the image to moderate. It supports PNG, JPG, JPEG, BMP, GIF AND WEBP files. The file cannot exceed 5 MB and the resolution should not below *256246**. The default timeout period is 3 seconds. Note that redirection URLs may be blocked by security policies. In this case, an error message will return. For example, if an HTTP request gets the 302 code, the error ResourceUnavailable.ImageDownloadError is returned.
    **Either FileUrl or FileContent must be specified.
    Interval No Integer For GIF/long image detection only. This field indicates the GIF frame capturing frequency (the image interval for capturing a frame for detection). For long images, you should round the width:height ratio as the total number of images to be split. The default value is 0, where only the first frame of the GIF image will be detected, and the long image will not be split.
    Note: the Interval and MaxFrames parameters need to be used in combination; for example, if Interval is 3 and MaxFrames is 400, the GIF/long image will be detected once every two frames for up to 400 frames.
    MaxFrames No Integer For GIF/long image detection only. This field indicates the maximum number of frames that can be captured. The default value is 1, where only the first frame of the input GIF image will be detected, and the long image will not be split (which may cause a processing timeout).
    Note: the Interval and MaxFrames parameters need to be used in combination; for example, if Interval is 3 and MaxFrames is 400, the GIF/long image will be detected once every two frames for up to 400 frames.
    User No User This field indicates the information of the user that corresponds to the object to be detected. It can be passed in to identify the user involved in the violation.
    Device No Device This field indicates the information of the device that corresponds to the object to be detected. It can be passed in to identify the device involved in the violation.
