Lakera Guard

Lakera Guard is a low-latency screening API that inspects text content sent to or from LLMs and flags threats including prompt injection, jailbreaks, PII, profanity, and policy violations. The /guard endpoint returns a flagged decision plus optional detector breakdowns via /guard/results, and the platform exposes /policies and /projects endpoints for managing detection logic. Available as a managed SaaS at api.lakera.ai/v2 with regional endpoints (US, EU, APAC) and as a self-hosted deployment for regulated environments.

Lakera Guard is one of 3 APIs that Lakera publishes on the APIs.io network.

Tagged areas include AI Security, Prompt Injection, PII Detection, Content Moderation, and LLM Guardrails. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an API reference, a getting-started guide, and a changelog.
