REST API vs. Bindings

Filtro offers a range of products tailored for off-the-shelf usage. Yet, we’ve also made possible to directly interact with the engine powering our entity detection and de-identification features. This happens through our core REST API, that is built (you could guess) on REST principles.

You may want to use the REST API if you’re building complex low-level systems (eg. involving cURL, Bash, or your own programming language), or if you just want to be closer to the source API for some other personal reason. Maybe you’re a purist, who knows.

If you need to use filtro using a common programming language framework, you can browse our implemented Bindings and SDKs. They are open-source and help you easily connect to the REST API. We strive at covering as many integrations as possible.

Right now, Python, Javascript, and many more are available (See List of Bindings). If you don’t find what you’re looking for, shoot us an email and we’ll integrate a new binding asap, at no extra cost!

On-Premise Deployment

The core of Filtro is packaged as a single lightweight container. By default, we run a secure cloud-hosted service, providing on-demand access for anyone at anytime. But for highly data-critic enterprises, we are able to ship the container, to be deployed On-Premise.

So that all computations happen on your machines, under your very own control.
