How to configure your environment for DataSnipper

Allow-list endpoints and Azure Cognitive Services for full DataSnipper functionality

Overview

DataSnipper is a locally installed application that runs within Excel. However, certain features require internet connectivity. All traffic is encrypted using TLS 1.2. No client files are sent to or stored on DataSnipper servers.

Required Endpoints

Allow-list the following endpoints in your firewall or proxy to ensure full functionality.

Version 4.1 and later

  • api.datasnipper.com

Version 4.0 and earlier

  • license.datasnipper.com

  • metrics.datasnipper.com

  • api.datasnipper.com

Text Recognition (OCR)

DataSnipper uses Azure Cognitive Services for Text Recognition. The Azure endpoint URL must also be allow-listed. The URL varies by region β€” contact your Customer Success Manager if you are unsure of yours.

Example format:

[REGION].api.cognitive.microsoft.com

If Text Recognition is not working after allow-listing the endpoint, see How to resolve non-working OCR.
