Quickstart

Detect prompt injection attacks in your application using the Centure API or SDK.

Using the Node.js SDK

Install the SDK

npm install @centure/node-sdk

Get your API key

Create an API key from the dashboard and set it as an environment variable:

export CENTURE_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Scan text content

import { CentureClient } from "@centure/node-sdk";

const client = new CentureClient();

// Fetch text from a URL and scan it
const text = await fetch('https://example.com').then(r => r.text());
const result = await client.scanText(text);

if (!result.is_safe) {
  console.log("Prompt injection detected!");
  console.log("Threats:", result.categories);
} else {
  console.log("Content is safe");
}

The SDK automatically reads the CENTURE_API_KEY environment variable if you don’t provide an API key explicitly.

Using the REST API

You can also call the API directly without using the SDK:

curl -X POST https://api.centure.ai/v1/prompt-injection/text \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content": "Your text content here"}'

const response = await fetch('https://api.centure.ai/v1/prompt-injection/text', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    content: 'Your text content here'
  })
});

const result = await response.json();

import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://api.centure.ai/v1/prompt-injection/text',
    headers={
        'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    json={'content': 'Your text content here'}
)

result = response.json()

Response Format

All scan endpoints return the same response structure:

{
  "is_safe": false,
  "categories": [
    {
      "code": "context_injection",
      "confidence": "high"
    }
  ],
  "request_id": "req_abc123",
  "api_key_id": "key_xyz789",
  "request_units": 1,
  "service_tier": "standard"
}

is_safe: false when prompt injection is detected
categories: Array of detected threat types with confidence levels
request_id: Unique identifier for this request

See the Risk Classifications page for detailed explanations of threat categories.
