# Check content for CSAM

> Check text, images, and/or one video for child sexual abuse material (CSAM),
using the same child-safety classifier and rubric BudgetPixel runs on all
platform content. **Synchronous**: the response carries a boolean verdict,
a confidence score, and a short reason.

**Inputs, formats, and size caps** are identical to
[`POST /v1/moderations/nsfw`](/api-reference/moderation/rate-content-nsfw-level):
`prompt`, up to 10 `images` (10 MB each), one `video` (100 MB / 5 minutes,
5 frames sampled). At least one input is required.

**Pricing: 2 credits base + 3 per image + 15 for a video.** Estimate via
[`POST /v1/cost`](/api-reference/models/estimate-the-cost-of-a-request) with
`{"model": "moderation-csam", "images": 2}`. Charged on success only.

**Child-safety notice:** submitted media is retained privately for ~1 day.
Content our classifier flags as suspected CSAM is **preserved and escalated
for human review**, and confirmed material is reported to the relevant
authorities (e.g. NCMEC) with the submitting account actioned. Do not submit
content you believe is real CSAM — report it to law enforcement instead.

    The BudgetPixel developer API for programmatic image, video, music and

    sound-effect generation.


    Generation is **asynchronous**: you create a job, then poll its status until
    it

    reaches a terminal state (`succeeded` / `failed`). You are charged in
    credits

    only on success — never for failures, timeouts, or content blocked before

    generation.


    **Authentication.** All requests require an API key sent as a bearer token:

        Authorization: Bearer bpx_live_xxx

    Create and manage keys from your BudgetPixel account dashboard. The
    developer

    API is available on **every paid plan**. On the **Free** plan, API keys can
    call

    one endpoint: `GET /v1/stock/images`, the free stock image library search.


    **Pricing.** API usage is metered in credits at each model's published price

    (see `GET /v1/models`), and your plan's model discounts and active
    promotions

    apply to API charges exactly as they do on the web — `POST /v1/cost` quotes

    your discounted price. Pro and Ultra plans include a daily free-models

    allowance (a shared pool of free generations per day across qualified image

    models such as FLUX 2 Klein and Qwen-Image) that covers API

    requests too — the standard price applies once the day's pool is used.

    Other promotional free daily generations remain web/app-only. Failed

    generations are never charged.


    **Rate limits.** Requests are limited per minute: **600 requests/min per API

    key** and **1200 requests/min per source IP** (defaults; subject to tuning).

    Every response carries `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, and

    `X-RateLimit-Reset` (seconds until the window resets). Exceeding a limit

    returns HTTP `429` with a `Retry-After` header — wait that long before

    retrying. Rejected requests still count against the window, so a tight retry

    loop keeps you limited; back off instead. Generation jobs additionally have
    a

    per-plan concurrency cap (the same one as the web workshop), independent of

    these request limits. `POST /v1/uploads` also has a dedicated **60
    uploads/min

    per account** cap (it's free/unmetered) on top of these limits.
