The various APIs supported by the AP Python are described in this section. It describes the syntax of the AP Python APIs and provides sample use cases.

Before running the APIs in this section, ensure that the required credentials are obtained and environment variables are specified, using the steps from Optional - Obtaining access to the AI Developer Edition API Service.

Initialize the protector

The Protector API returns the Protector object associated with the AP Python APIs. After instantiation, this object is used to create a session. The session object provides APIs to perform the protect, unprotect, or reprotect operations.

Using the Application Protector Java APIs

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The various APIs supported by the AP Java are described in this section. It describes the syntax of the AP Java APIs and provides sample use cases.

Before running the APIs in this section, ensure that the required credentials are obtained and environment variables specified, using the steps from Optional - Obtaining access to the AI Developer Edition API Service.

Note: The AP Java only supports bytes converted from the string data type.
If any other data type is directly converted to bytes and passed as an input to the API that supports byte as an input and provides byte as an output, then data corruption might occur.

Uninstalling Data Protection

Tue, 20 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000
