What does Perspective API do?
Perspective API is a machine learning tool built to help publishers and platforms keep online conversations productive. It provides an API that analyzes comments and messages, scoring them on how likely they are to disrupt or harm dialogue. Developed by Jigsaw (a unit within Google), Perspective API has been used by news sites, social media platforms, and forums to moderate content at scale. The tool is now being sunset, with full service ending after 2026 — usage and quota requests will be accepted until February 2026.
The API works by sending a piece of text and receiving scores for attributes like toxicity, identity attack, or insult. These scores help moderators decide whether to flag, hide, or allow a comment. What made Perspective API stand out was its focus on enabling conversations to flourish rather than simply blocking words. The machine learning models are trained on millions of human-labeled comments, allowing them to adapt to different contexts and languages. However, the tool is not expanding further — the team has decided to sunset it as AI capabilities evolve and demand shifts.
Perspective API was primarily designed for publishers and platforms that host large-scale user comments. News organizations, social networks, and online communities were the main users. It helped reduce the manual workload of moderators and provided consistent, data-driven moderation. While the API is still active until 2026, new users may want to explore alternative tools inspired by Perspective's approach. For existing users, it's a good time to plan migration.
