## Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
pip install pii-guard
```

### Usage in 3 lines

```python
from pii_guard import scan, redact

# Detect PII
entities = scan("Email me at john@example.com or call 555-123-4567")
print(entities)  # [PIIEntity(label='EMAIL', ...), PIIEntity(label='PHONE', ...)]

# Redact PII
clean = redact("My SSN is 123-45-6789")
print(clean)  # "My SSN is [SSN:****]"
```

### CLI

```bash
# Scan text
pii-guard scan "Contact john@example.com"
# [EMAIL] john@example.com (confidence: 0.99)

# Redact text
pii-guard redact "SSN: 123-45-6789"
# SSN: [SSN:****]

# JSON output
pii-guard scan "test@example.com" --json

# List all supported types

## Advanced Usage

### Using the Detector Class

```python
from pii_guard import PIIDetector

detector = PIIDetector()

# Detect entities
entities = detector.detect("Call me at 555-123-4567")
for entity in entities:
    print(f"{entity.label}: {entity.text} (confidence: {entity.confidence:.2f})")

# Get both redacted text and entities
redacted_text, entities = detector.redact("SSN: 123-45-6789")
print(redacted_text)  # "SSN: [SSN:****]"

# Get statistics
stats = detector.get_statistics(entities)
print(stats)
```

### Data Anonymization

For database anonymization and GDPR compliance:

```python
from pii_guard import (
    DataAnonymizer,
    AnonymizationConfig,
    AnonymizationMethod,
    FieldConfig,
    TableConfig,
)

# Configure anonymization
config = AnonymizationConfig(
    config_id="demo",
    name="User Data Anonymization",
    tables=[
        TableConfig(
            table_name="users",
            fields=[
                FieldConfig("email", "email", AnonymizationMethod.FAKE),
                FieldConfig("phone", "phone", AnonymizationMethod.MASK, {"show_last": 4}),
                FieldConfig("ssn", "ssn", AnonymizationMethod.REDACT),
                FieldConfig("name", "name", AnonymizationMethod.FAKE),
            ]
        )
    ],
    seed=42,  # For reproducible results
)

anonymizer = DataAnonymizer(config)

# Anonymize records
records = [
    {"email": "john@company.com", "phone": "555-123-4567", "ssn": "123-45-6789", "name": "John Doe"},
]
anonymized, result = anonymizer.anonymize_records(records, "users")
print(anonymized)
```

### Anonymization Methods

| Method | Description | Example |
|--------|-------------|---------|
| `REDACT` | Replace with placeholder | `[EMAIL_REDACTED]` |
| `MASK` | Partial masking | `****4567` |
| `HASH` | One-way hash | `anon_a1b2c3@example.com` |
| `TOKENIZE` | Reversible token | `TOK_EMAIL_abc123` |
| `FAKE` | Realistic fake data | `jane.doe@example.com` |
| `GENERALIZE` | Reduce precision | `1990-01-01` → `1990` |
| `NULL` | Replace with null | `null` |
| `PRESERVE` | Keep original | (unchanged) |

### Fake Data Generation

```python
from pii_guard import FakeDataGenerator

faker = FakeDataGenerator(seed=42, locale="en_US")

print(faker.full_name())      # "James Williams"
print(faker.email())          # "abcdefgh@example.com"
print(faker.phone())          # "+1-555-123-4567"
print(faker.ssn())            # "456-78-9012"
print(faker.credit_card())    # "4532 0151 1283 0366"
print(faker.address()["full"])  # "123 Main Street, New York, NY 10001"
```

## Integrations

### LangChain

```python
from langchain.schema import BaseOutputParser
from pii_guard import redact

class PIIRedactingParser(BaseOutputParser):
    def parse(self, text: str) -> str:
        return redact(text)

# Use with any LangChain chain
# chain = prompt | llm | PIIRedactingParser()
```

### FastAPI Middleware

```python
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request
from pii_guard import redact

app = FastAPI()

@app.middleware("http")
async def redact_pii(request: Request, call_next):
    response = await call_next(request)
    # Add PII redaction logic here
    return response
```
