The Text Anonymization API can identify and redact a wide range of sensitive information, including personal names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers, dates, organizations, locations, and more. The API uses advanced AI technology to detect various entity types in multiple formats and contexts. You can specify which entity types to anonymize or let the API automatically detect and redact all sensitive information.
The API supports multiple file formats including PDF, plain text (TXT), and HTML files through the file upload endpoint. Additionally, the API can process raw text input directly through the text anonymization endpoint, which accepts plain text, JSON, or form data. This flexibility allows you to anonymize content from various sources and formats to meet your specific needs.
The Text Anonymization API uses advanced AI and machine learning algorithms to achieve high accuracy in detecting and redacting sensitive information. However, accuracy can vary depending on the complexity and context of the text. The API continuously improves through machine learning to handle more complex patterns and edge cases. For optimal results, we recommend providing specific entity types to target for anonymization when your use case has clear requirements.
Yes, the Text Anonymization API is designed to help organizations comply with privacy regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA by identifying and redacting personally identifiable information (PII) and other sensitive data. The API itself processes data securely and doesn't store the content after processing. However, organizations should consult with their legal and compliance teams to ensure their specific implementation meets all relevant regulatory requirements.
The API offers several pricing tiers with different usage limits. The Basic free plan includes 10 requests per month. The Pro plan ($9.99/month) provides 100 requests per month, the Ultra plan ($79.99/month) allows 1,000 requests per month, and the Mega plan ($499.99/month) supports up to 10,000 requests per month. Choose the plan that best fits your expected usage volume. If you need higher limits or custom pricing, contact the API provider for enterprise solutions.
