Hatefreeweb

The Hate Free Web is a project to make the web a little bit better. I use it to detect hate speech for https://www.hatefreeweb.org on websites our customers link to. It's one thing to make sure that your own site is free of hate speech but it is also important to monitor all sites you are linking to as they might change over time. So we have automated the process and monitor all customers outgoing links daily.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'hatefreeweb'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install hatefreeweb

Request an API key by contacting us at https://www.hatefreeweb.org At the moment only English is supported which will change over the next weeks.

require 'hatefreeweb'

client = Hatefreeweb::Client.new("Your API KEY HERE")

detection = client.detect("This content is fortunately clean!!","en")
-> 0
detection = client.detect("Here the tone has suffered because of some krauts!!","en")
-> 1

KNOWN ISSUE: In case you get a "NoMethodError: undefined methodstringify_keys' for #HTTParty::Response:0x007fa9231ab1b0"`

It's telling you that the api key is invalid and therefore can't handle the server response. Please obtain a valid api key.
