Introduction

Welcome to the SWIPE API (alpha version)! You can use our API to access SWIPE API endpoints for encryption and decryption utilities as well as data requests and re-encryption.

We have language bindings in Shell! You can view code examples in the dark area to the right, and you can switch the programming language of the examples with the tabs in the top right.

Utilities
