PII Anonymization API for Developers
An anonymization API is a developer endpoint that strips PII from text inside your own pipelines. Ship privacy-first applications with anonym.legal's REST endpoints for CI/CD integration, MCP Server for AI tools, and consistent anonymization across 48 languages.
挑战
开发团队在真实测试数据与数据保护之间始终面临矛盾：
- •生产数据包含敏感 PII，无法直接使用
- •合成数据通常缺乏有效测试所需的真实感
- •手动匿名化耗时且容易出错
- •不同环境需要一致、可重现的数据
# Anonymize test data in CI/CD pipeline
curl -X POST https://anonym.legal/api/presidio/anonymize \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"text": "Contact john@company.com", "anonymizers": {"DEFAULT": {"type": "replace"}}}'解决方案
通过我们的 RESTful API 将 PII 匿名化直接集成到您的开发工作流中。
REST API
简洁的 JSON API，可集成到任何技术栈。在单次请求中完成分析和匿名化。
CI/CD 就绪
在流水线中自动化测试数据生成。每次输出结果一致。
可重现
相同输入，相同输出。确定性结果，保障可靠测试。
高速
每分钟处理数千条记录。无需 GPU。
API Endpoints
Simple REST API with bearer token authentication. Integrate in minutes.
| Endpoint | Method | Description |

Limitations / Important note
- Rate limits and endpoint availability depend on your plan; build in retry/backoff handling.
- Detection results are probabilistic; validate before automated downstream use. This is not legal advice.

How we test
We run a full check suite on every release.

Human reviewers spot-check the output each week.
We track recall and precision on a labelled set.
Bad runs block the deploy.
What we never do
- We never sell your information to third parties.
- We never train models on what you upload.
- We never keep your work after you delete it.
- We never share keys with any outside firm.
- We never run ads inside the product.
Plans in plain words
We sell credits, not seats.
One credit covers one short job.
Long jobs use a few credits each.
You can top up at any time.
Unused credits roll over each month.

Who built this
A small team of engineers and lawyers built this.
We ship from Europe and work in the open.
Our founder note spells out why we started.
Where to start
- Open the web app and try a sample file.
- Learn how credits get counted.
- See current plans and limits.
- Meet the team behind the product.
How the parts fit
A browser add-on cleans text inside Chrome.
A Word plug-in handles drafts in Office.
A small desktop tool works on whole folders.
An agent protocol link feeds large models safely.
All four share one core engine and one rule set.
Words from our team
We started this work after a lunch about cookies.
One friend kept getting odd ads on her phone.
We asked why a court file leaked through a draft.
We sketched the first build on a napkin that week.
By month three we had a tiny demo for a friend.
She used it on her first case the next day.
Common questions we hear
Can the tool read scanned PDFs? Yes, with OCR.
Does it work on long files? Yes, in small chunks.
Can I roll my own rule set? Yes, save it as a preset.
Does it run offline? The desktop build runs offline.
Do you keep my files? No, the cloud build wipes after each run.
Will it learn from my work? No, we never train on inputs.
A short tour of the workflow
Upload a file or paste a snippet of prose.
Pick the entities you want gone from the draft.
Choose a method: replace, mask, hash, encrypt, or redact.
Press run and watch the side panel show each hit.
Skim the result and tweak any rule that misfired.
Save the cleaned file or send it to a teammate.
