Usage

Python API

Example: Providing Personal Information Directly in Code

from . import anonymizer

# Initialize the anonymizer
ano = anonymizer.Anonymizer()

# Define personal information
infos = {
    "first_name": "Bob",
    "last_name": "Jungels",
    "birth_name": "",
    "birthdate": "1992-09-22",
    "ipp": "0987654321",
    "postal_code": "01000",
    "adress": ""
}

# Configure the anonymizer
ano.set_info(infos)
ano.set_strategies(['regex', 'pii'])
ano.set_masks('placeholder')

# Read and anonymize text
text_to_anonymize = ano.open_text_file("/path/to/file.txt")
anonymized_text = ano.anonymize(text_to_anonymize)

print(anonymized_text)

Example: Using JSON File for Personal Information

from . import anonymizer

# Initialize the anonymizer
ano = anonymizer.Anonymizer()

# Load personal information from JSON
infos_json = ano.open_json_file("/path/to/infofile.json")

# Configure the anonymizer
ano.set_info(infos_json)
ano.set_strategies(['regex', 'pii'])
ano.set_masks('placeholder')

# Read and anonymize text
text_to_anonymize = ano.open_text_file("/path/to/file.txt")
anonymized_text = ano.anonymize(text_to_anonymize)

print(anonymized_text)

Command-Line Interface (CLI)

Anonymization Process Details

Regex Strategy

One available anonymization strategy is Regex. It can extract and mask specific information from the input text, such as: - Email addresses - Phone numbers - French NIR (social security number) - First and last names (if preceded by titles like "Monsieur", "Madame", "Mr", "Mme", "Docteur", "Professeur", etc.)

For more details, see the RegexStrategy class and the self.title_regex variable.
