Cloud Data Loss Prevention: Node.js Client

The Data Loss Prevention API provides programmatic access to a powerful detection engine for personally identifiable information and other privacy-sensitive data in unstructured data streams.

Quickstart

Before you begin

1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
2. Enable billing for your project.
3. Enable the Cloud Data Loss Prevention API.
4. Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.

Installing the client library

npm install @google-cloud/dlp

Using the client library

// Instantiates a client
const dlp = new DLP.DlpServiceClient();

// The string to inspect
const string = 'Robert Frost';

// The project ID to run the API call under
const projectId = process.env.GCLOUD_PROJECT;

// The minimum likelihood required before returning a match
const minLikelihood = 'LIKELIHOOD_UNSPECIFIED';

// The maximum number of findings to report (0 = server maximum)
const maxFindings = 0;

// The infoTypes of information to match
const infoTypes = [{name: 'PERSON_NAME'}, {name: 'US_STATE'}];

// Whether to include the matching string
const includeQuote = true;

// Construct item to inspect
const item = {value: string};

// Construct request
const request = {
  parent: dlp.projectPath(projectId),
  inspectConfig: {
    infoTypes: infoTypes,
    minLikelihood: minLikelihood,
    limits: {
      maxFindingsPerRequest: maxFindings,
    },
    includeQuote: includeQuote,
  },
  item: item,
};

// Run request
const [response] = await dlp.inspectContent(request);
const findings = response.result.findings;
if (findings.length > 0) {
  console.log('Findings:');
  findings.forEach(finding => {
    if (includeQuote) {
      console.log(`\tQuote: ${finding.quote}`);
    }
    console.log(`\tInfo type: ${finding.infoType.name}`);
    console.log(`\tLikelihood: ${finding.likelihood}`);
  });
} else {
  console.log('No findings.');
}

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js.

Client libraries targetting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed via npm dist-tags. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version).

Legacy Node.js versions are supported as a best effort:

• Legacy versions will not be tested in continuous integration.
• Some security patches may not be able to be backported.
• Dependencies will not be kept up-to-date, and features will not be backported.

Legacy tags available

• legacy-8: install client libraries from this dist-tag for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be General Availability (GA). This means it is stable; the code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against GA libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
