Quickstart: Detect Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

  • Artikkeli

Note

This quickstart only covers PII detection in documents. To learn more about detecting PII in conversations, see How to detect and redact PII in conversations.

Use this quickstart to create a Personally Identifiable Information (PII) detection application with the client library for .NET. In the following example, you create a C# application that can identify recognized sensitive information in text.

Tip

You can use Azure AI Foundry to try summarization without needing to write code.

Prerequisites

Setting up

Create environment variables

Your application must be authenticated to send API requests. For production, use a secure way of storing and accessing your credentials. In this example, you will write your credentials to environment variables on the local machine running the application.

To set the environment variable for your Language resource key, open a console window, and follow the instructions for your operating system and development environment.

  • To set the LANGUAGE_KEY environment variable, replace your-key with one of the keys for your resource.
  • To set the LANGUAGE_ENDPOINT environment variable, replace your-endpoint with the endpoint for your resource.

Important

If you use an API key, store it securely somewhere else, such as in Azure Key Vault. Don't include the API key directly in your code, and never post it publicly.

For more information about AI services security, see Authenticate requests to Azure AI services.

setx LANGUAGE_KEY your-key

setx LANGUAGE_ENDPOINT your-endpoint

Note

If you only need to access the environment variables in the current running console, you can set the environment variable with set instead of setx.

After you add the environment variables, you may need to restart any running programs that will need to read the environment variables, including the console window. For example, if you are using Visual Studio as your editor, restart Visual Studio before running the example.

Create a new .NET Core application

Using the Visual Studio IDE, create a new .NET Core console app. This creates a "Hello World" project with a single C# source file: program.cs.

Install the client library by right-clicking on the solution in the Solution Explorer and selecting Manage NuGet Packages. In the package manager that opens select Browse and search for Azure.AI.TextAnalytics. Select version 5.2.0, and then Install. You can also use the Package Manager Console.

Code example

Copy the following code into your program.cs file and run the code.

using Azure;
using System;
using Azure.AI.TextAnalytics;

namespace Example
{
    class Program
    {
        // This example requires environment variables named "LANGUAGE_KEY" and "LANGUAGE_ENDPOINT"
        static string languageKey = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("LANGUAGE_KEY");
        static string languageEndpoint = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("LANGUAGE_ENDPOINT");

        private static readonly AzureKeyCredential credentials = new AzureKeyCredential(languageKey);
        private static readonly Uri endpoint = new Uri(languageEndpoint);

        // Example method for detecting sensitive information (PII) from text 
        static void RecognizePIIExample(TextAnalyticsClient client)
        {
            string document = "Call our office at 312-555-1234, or send an email to support@contoso.com.";
        
            PiiEntityCollection entities = client.RecognizePiiEntities(document).Value;
        
            Console.WriteLine($"Redacted Text: {entities.RedactedText}");
            if (entities.Count > 0)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"Recognized {entities.Count} PII entit{(entities.Count > 1 ? "ies" : "y")}:");
                foreach (PiiEntity entity in entities)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine($"Text: {entity.Text}, Category: {entity.Category}, SubCategory: {entity.SubCategory}, Confidence score: {entity.ConfidenceScore}");
                }
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("No entities were found.");
            }
        }

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var client = new TextAnalyticsClient(endpoint, credentials);
            RecognizePIIExample(client);

            Console.Write("Press any key to exit.");
            Console.ReadKey();
        }

    }
}

Output

Redacted Text: Call our office at ************, or send an email to *******************.
Recognized 2 PII entities:
Text: 312-555-1234, Category: PhoneNumber, SubCategory: , Confidence score: 0.8
Text: support@contoso.com, Category: Email, SubCategory: , Confidence score: 0.8

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        TextAnalyticsClient client = authenticateClient(languageKey, languageEndpoint);
        recognizePiiEntitiesExample(client);
    }
    // Method to authenticate the client object with your key and endpoint
    static TextAnalyticsClient authenticateClient(String key, String endpoint) {
        return new TextAnalyticsClientBuilder()
                .credential(new AzureKeyCredential(key))
                .endpoint(endpoint)
                .buildClient();
    }

    // Example method for detecting sensitive information (PII) from text 
    static void recognizePiiEntitiesExample(TextAnalyticsClient client)
    {
        // The text that need be analyzed.
        String document = "My SSN is 859-98-0987";
        PiiEntityCollection piiEntityCollection = client.recognizePiiEntities(document);
        System.out.printf("Redacted Text: %s%n", piiEntityCollection.getRedactedText());
        piiEntityCollection.forEach(entity -> System.out.printf(
            "Recognized Personally Identifiable Information entity: %s, entity category: %s, entity subcategory: %s,"
                + " confidence score: %f.%n",
            entity.getText(), entity.getCategory(), entity.getSubcategory(), entity.getConfidenceScore()));
    }
}

Output

Redacted Text: My SSN is ***********
Recognized Personally Identifiable Information entity: 859-98-0987, entity category: USSocialSecurityNumber, entity subcategory: null, confidence score: 0.650000.

setx LANGUAGE_KEY your-key

setx LANGUAGE_ENDPOINT your-endpoint

Note

If you only need to access the environment variables in the current running console, you can set the environment variable with set instead of setx.

After you add the environment variables, you may need to restart any running programs that will need to read the environment variables, including the console window. For example, if you are using Visual Studio as your editor, restart Visual Studio before running the example.

Create a JSON file with the example request body

In a code editor, create a new file named test_pii_payload.json and copy the following JSON example. This example request will be sent to the API in the next step.

{
    "kind": "PiiEntityRecognition",
    "parameters": {
        "modelVersion": "latest"
    },
    "analysisInput":{
        "documents":[
            {
                "id":"1",
                "language": "en",
                "text": "Call our office at 312-555-1234, or send an email to support@contoso.com"
            }
        ]
    }
}
'

Save test_pii_payload.json somewhere on your computer. For example, your desktop.
