API

Philter's API is divided into five parts, the Filtering API, the Policies API, the Custom Lists API, the Contexts API, and the Alerts API.

  • Filtering API - The filtering API is used to redact text. With the filtering API, you can send text or PDF documents to Philter and receive back the redacted text or PDF document.
  • Policies API - The policies API allows you to create, modify, and delete policies. Policies can also be created manually with access to Philter, but the API provides a programmatic way to manage policies.
  • Custom Lists API - The custom lists API allows you to create, modify, and delete custom lists. Custom lists are used by policies to identify terms to be redacted.
  • Contexts API - The contexts API allows you to create, modify, and delete contexts. Contexts are used to maintain referential integrity across documents.
