Sample Code
The example code snippets for both Chat Inspection and HTTP Inspection demonstrate how to analyze messages for sensitive content and inspect network traffic for security risks. These examples help you quickly get started with making API calls, handling responses, and ensuring secure AI interactions within your systems.
Regional Base URL for the API
Your AI Defense Inspection API endpoint address will be similar to the
one shown below. All examples below include the us. subdomain that
specifies the us-west-2 AWS region. If you're using an AI Defense
deployment outside North America, please replace the us. subdomain
with the subdomain for your region.
The supported regional base URLs are listed in Getting Started - Base URL.
Chat Inspect Examples
Inspect chat prompt leveraging policies (rules) configured in the AI Defense UI:
curl --location 'https://us.api.inspect.aidefense.security.cisco.com/api/v1/inspect/chat' \
--header 'X-Cisco-AI-Defense-API-Key: YOUR-API-KEY' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
"messages": [
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Your test input here"
}
],
"metadata": {},
"config": {}
}'
import json
url = "https://us.api.inspect.aidefense.security.cisco.com/api/v1/inspect/chat"
headers = {
"X-Cisco-AI-Defense-API-Key": "YOUR-API-KEY",
"Content-Type": "application/json",

}
payload = {

{

"content": "Your test input here"
}
],
"metadata": {},
"config": {}
}
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)
print(response.text)
Inspect chat prompt and response using policies(rules) configured in the AI Defense UI:
