The Basics:

To perform an action using the WebPurify Web Service, you need to send a request to its endpoint specifying a method and some arguments. You will then receive a formatted response.

The REQUIRED parameter method is used to specify the calling method.

The REQUIRED parameter api_key is used to authenticate your request. If you don’t have a license key you can purchase one.

The REQUIRED parameter imgurl is the full url to the photo you would like moderated.

The arguments, responses and error codes for each method are listed on each spec page for each method.
