Developers: Safe Test Data in Minutes

Development teams need realistic test data without exposing production PII. Our API integrates directly into your CI/CD pipeline for automated, consistent anonymization.

The Challenge

Development teams face a constant tension between realistic test data and data protection:

  • Production data contains sensitive PII that cannot be used directly
  • Synthetic data often lacks the realism needed for meaningful testing
  • Manual anonymization is time-consuming and error-prone
  • Different environments need consistent, reproducible data
# Anonymize test data in CI/CD pipeline
curl -X POST https://anonymize.today/api/presidio/anonymize \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "Contact john@company.com", "anonymizers": {"DEFAULT": {"type": "replace"}}}'

The Solution

Integrate PII anonymization directly into your development workflow with our RESTful API.

REST API

Simple JSON API for integration into any stack. Analyze and anonymize in a single request.

CI/CD Ready

Automate test data generation in your pipeline. Consistent results every time.

Reproducible

Same input, same output. Deterministic results for reliable testing.

Fast

Process thousands of records per minute. No GPU required.

How It Works

  1. 1

    Upload your document

    Send production data via the REST API or upload files directly — JSON, CSV, XML, PDF, DOCX, and TXT are all supported.

  2. 2

    AI detects PII automatically

    The analyzer scans for names, email addresses, phone numbers, IBANs, IP addresses, and other PII in your data with deterministic, reproducible results.

  3. 3

    Review and adjust entities

    Confirm detected entities, exclude false positives, or add custom terms before processing.

  4. 4

    Download the anonymized file

    Receive safe test data with consistent pseudonyms ready for staging environments, CI/CD pipelines, or developer machines — no production PII exposed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do developers create safe test data with anonymize.today?
Developers can use the anonymize.today REST API or desktop app to replace production PII with realistic anonymized data. The API integrates into CI/CD pipelines for automated test data generation. Supported formats include JSON, CSV, and XML. Deterministic detection ensures consistent, reproducible results across environments.
How does the anonymize.today API integrate into a CI/CD pipeline?
The REST API accepts a JSON body with text or structured data and returns anonymized output in a single request. Authenticate with a Bearer token, POST to /api/presidio/anonymize, and integrate the response into your test data generation step. Deterministic results mean the same input always produces the same anonymized output.
What data formats does the API support?
The anonymize.today API supports plain text, JSON, CSV, and XML for structured data anonymization. The desktop app additionally supports PDF, DOCX, and XLSX. All formats preserve document structure — anonymization replaces PII values while keeping the surrounding data intact.
