    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

data = {
    "prompt": "Hi, I'm Lorenzo Smith working at Google. You can reach me at lorenzo.smith@gmail.com or visit our office at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View. My API key is sk_test_4eC39HqLyjWDarja4fqee2d23dtT1zdp7dc and my credit card is 4532-7153-3790-4421. Our server IP is 192.168.1.1"

Additional Information

  • Rate Limiting: The API enforces rate limits to ensure fair usage. If you exceed the rate limit, you will receive a 429 Too Many Requests response. Please implement appropriate retry logic with exponential backoff in your applications.

  • Error Handling: Always check the response status code and handle errors appropriately in your application.

  • Security: Keep your API key secure. Do not expose it in client-side code, public repositories, or logs.

  • Support: For assistance or inquiries, contact our support team at info@glaider.it.

Example Scenario:

Suppose you are processing user-submitted text and need to ensure that any personally identifiable information (PII) is anonymized before storing it or processing it further. You can use the anonymize-pii endpoint to detect and replace sensitive information with anonymized tokens.

By sending the text to the API, you receive the anonymized version along with a mapping of the anonymized tokens to the original values. This allows you to safely work with the anonymized text while still having the ability to refer back to the original data if necessary, in a secure and controlled manner.
