Documentation
Parse is a prompt security API that screens LLM prompts for injection attacks, jailbreaks, and adversarial patterns. Get started in under 5 minutes.
Quick Start
- Generate an API key:
POST /v1/keys/generate(no auth required). Keys expire in 30 days. - Screen a prompt: Call
POST /v1/parsewith your API key asAuthorization: Bearer <key>. - Interpret results: Risk score 0-3 = safe, 4-6 = caution, 7-10 = block. Flags show detected threats.
