Text Anonymizer — redact sensitive text data

AI Text Anonymization API

What it does

Text Anonymizer helps you remove or mask sensitive details from plain text. Send a text string, and you can also provide language plus a requested_service value of azure or apyhub to choose the processing backend. If you use Azure, you can include an azure object with key, region, endpoint, account_id, or access_token credentials.

Use it when you need to share notes, support tickets, chat logs, or user submissions without exposing personal data. A common workflow is cleaning internal transcripts before sending them to analytics, QA, or LLM pipelines. The service is designed for privacy-focused text handling rather than general content rewriting.

The response returns a data object with azure and/or apyhub result objects, depending on the backend you request. That keeps the integration simple: you send text in, and read the anonymization result back from the provider you chose.

Text Anonymizer fits into moderation, compliance, and secure data-processing flows where raw user text should not be stored or forwarded unchanged.

curl -X POST "https://api.eu.apyverse.com/apyhub/anonymize-text" \ -H "apy-token: $APY_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"text":"My name is John Doe and my phone number is 555-0199."}'
