Using the API
What to expect
Protegrity API Playground features functionality derived from the original suite of Protegrity products in a form of API calls. Our API endpoints are easy-to-use and ask for minimal configuration. The Playground divides available endpoint portfolio into the following families:
- Data Protection endpoints, covering sensitive data protection. Users can decide to transform various data types, from numbers, strings, and dates without any inherent logic tom specific PII attributes like postcodes, or social security numbers.
- Sensitive Data Discovery endpoints, which allow users to detect and classify sensitive data within payloads.
- GenAI Security endpoints that combine the capabilities of the above, allowing users to perform automatic discovery and protection of sensitive data and specify their risk tolerance.
- Private endpoints low-level APIs that are the closest to the actual product experience, allowing for high customization. We suggest using the private endpoints for conducting PoCs in house – with Protegrity’s Professional Services guidance. The endpoints are disabled to all users by default and are available upon request only.
Note: Protegrity does not store any data received from external API requests.
