Getting Started
Quickstart
Get up and running with NeuronEdge in under 5 minutes. This guide will walk you through creating an account, generating an API key, and making your first PII-protected API call.
Create an Account
Sign up for a NeuronEdge account at neuronedge.ai/signup. You'll start on our free Starter tier with 100K API requests per month.
Tip: Use your work email to enable organization features and team collaboration.
Generate an API Key
Navigate to the API Keys section in your dashboard. Click "Create API Key" and give it a descriptive name.
# Your API key will look like this:
ne_live_abc123xyz789...Important: Copy your API key immediately after creation. For security, we only show the full key once. Store it securely—never commit API keys to version control.
Make Your First Request
NeuronEdge acts as a proxy between your application and LLM providers. Simply replace your provider's base URL with NeuronEdge's API endpoint.
OpenAI Example

The LLM provider receives redacted content while your response contains the original context. Check the response headers for detection metrics:
# What OpenAI receives (redacted):
"My name is [PERSON] and my SSN is [SSN]. Can you help me?"
# Response headers include:
X-Request-ID: 01HXYZ123ABC...
