Eden AIIn this tutorial, you will learn how to use Text Anonymization API in 5 minutes using Python. Eden AI provides an easy and developer-friendly API that allows you to anonymize your texts.
What is Text Anonymization?
Text Anonymization can be used to protect sensitive or personal identifiable information (PII) in textual data. The API processes text data as input and returns anonymized or masked text data as output. This involves removing or replacing personal identifiers such as names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. The anonymization process is crucial for protecting the privacy and confidentiality of individuals and organizations.
Text Anonymization APIs use natural language processing (NLP) techniques or predefined rules to identify and mask sensitive information. They are commonly used in chatbots, virtual assistants, customer support systems, and data analysis tools to prevent personal information from being disclosed or exposed to unauthorized parties.
Get Started with Text Anonymization API using Python
The first step is to install Python's requests package, that will allow you to call Eden AI API.
Next, you'll need to install Python's JSON package in order to be able to read and print the result of the API request.
