Hi,
Does there exist a way to filter out sounds flagged as offensive from the queries to the api?
My use case is that I want to get a random sound from Freesound that matches a filter (currently, duration 1 TO 10), but I have sometimes gotten nsfw content, which I would like to be able to avoid.
For what I've seen, there's not a consistent tag that selects all these sounds, so having a straightforward way to filter them out (like with a boolean filter name like filter=is_offensive:false) would be amazing.
Thanks

Gorka

Hi Gorka ;)

The filter name is “is_explicit”, that should work.
