Practical overview
When it fits
Use NoPII when an application needs to send prompts containing personal information to an LLM provider while routing requests through a tokenization layer.
Who it is for
- Developers routing LLM API traffic through a PII-tokenizing proxy
- Teams building LLM applications with OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain or LlamaIndex
Documented uses
- Intercept outbound prompts and replace detected PII with deterministic tokens before forwarding them to an LLM provider.
- Restore original values in provider responses returned to the application.
- Preserve consistent entity tokens across multi-turn conversations.
Requirements & limits
The README instructs users to sign up and register LLM API keys in the admin console. It lists a free tier with one million protected tokens per month and no credit card required. The repository is public and MIT-licensed.
- NoPII acts as an intermediary between the application and provider; requests must be routed through its proxy.
- The README says requests are blocked if NoPII cannot tokenize them.
- The repository describes deterministic tokens as consistent within an account, supporting multi-turn entity references.
- The README lists examples for Python and Node.js/TypeScript and integrations across several LLM providers and frameworks.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up the OpenAI chat example
Configure the documented example environment and start the OpenAI chat sample through NoPII.
Before you start
- A NoPII account and LLM API key registered in its admin console
- The NoPII repository and its example dependencies
- OpenAI API key
Steps
Sign up at the NoPII admin console and register your LLM API key.
Copy
.env.exampleto.envand setNOPII_BASE_URL=https://api.nopii.coandOPENAI_API_KEY.Change to
examples/openai-chatand install dependencies with the command below.pip install -r requirements.txtRun the example with the command below.
python main.py
Expected outcome
The repository’s OpenAI chat example is configured to send requests through NoPII’s PII-protection proxy.
Guide limitations
- The repository presents these as quick-start instructions; this profile does not claim that the example was executed.
- Provider-specific configuration details are referred to the provider compatibility documentation.
