Quickstart

Account → plan → API key → first de-identification. No code required.

1. Create an account

Sign up at the Dashboard, verify your email, and sign in. (More)

2. Activate a plan

Open Subscriptions and click Get Started Free. Signing in alone doesn't create an API key — activating a plan does. (Plans)

3. Copy your API key

Activation drops you on API Keys. Copy the key for your active plan — custodian_labs_…. Keep it private. (More)

4. Transform some text

In API Testing: select your key, choose Enter Text, paste this, pick All PII → Transform → Mask Now.

Please contact Jane Smith at jane.smith@example.com or call (415) 555-0123.

The result appears in Results. Try Redact to see ***** output instead.

5. Transform a file

Save this as sample.txt, then in API Testing choose Upload File → All PII → Transform → Mask Now → download.
