Overview

Safe for Work (SFW) is one of the intelligence services of the Filestack platform. This feature shows you whether the uploaded file contains any unsafe content, or it is safe for your business.

Processing API

Safe for Work is available as a synchronous operation in the Processing API using the following task:

sfw

To use this task in Processing API, you have to use security policy and signature. Read more about security policies here.

Response

  • If the uploaded file is safe:

    {
    "sfw": true
    }
  • If the uploaded file is not safe:

    {
    "sfw": false
    }

Response Parameters

sfw boolean Indicates whether your uploaded file is safe or not.

Examples

  • Get the safety information of your uploaded file:

    https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/security=p:<POLICY>,s:<SIGNATURE>/sfw/<HANDLE>
  • Use sfw in a chain with other tasks such as tagging:

    https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/security=p:<POLICY>,s:<SIGNATURE>/tags/sfw/<HANDLE>
  • Use sfw with an external URL:

    https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/<FILESTACK_API_KEY>/security=p:<POLICY>,s:<SIGNATURE>/sfw/<EXTERNAL_URL>
  • Use sfw with Storage Aliases:

    https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/<FILESTACK_API_KEY>/security=p:<POLICY>,s:<SIGNATURE>/sfw/src://<STORAGE_ALIAS>/<PATH_TO_FILE>

Workflows Task Configuration

In order to learn how you can use Workflows UI to configure tasks and logic items, please visit Creating Workflows Tutorial.

Safe for Work task is available in Intelligence tasks category.

Workflows Parameters

Task Name string Unique name of the task which will be included in the webhook response and can be used to build logic below.

Logic

Safe for Work task returns following response to the workflow:

{
  "data": {
    "sfw": false
  }
}

or

{
  "data": {
    "sfw": true
  }
}

Logic Parameters

data dictionary Includes the information of safe for work task.
sfw boolean Indicates whether the file is safe for work or not.

Considering the response from the task, you can build logic in order to make independent flows with different executing tasks. For example, if you would like to run another task if the file is not safe, you can use following rule:

sfw eq false or sfw neq true

In Workflows UI this command would be similar to the example below:
