Individual Name Matching API - AI-Powered Data Matching Solutions

API Overview

This API provides a hashed similarity key from the input data used to match with other similar full name data. Use the generated similarity key, rather than the actual data itself, to match and/or sort individual name data by similarity.

AI-Powered

Leveraging AI Models and specialized algorithms for accurate matching, including international names.

Versatile Matching

Addresses data inconsistency, misspellings, nicknames, and other name variations within and across datasets.

Advanced Searching

Enables more sophisticated searching capabilities using generated similarity keys as the search mechanism.

How It Works

Full names generating the same similarity key are considered "similar".

Full Name	Similarity Key

Jim Kelley	`N1Ai4RfV0SRJf2dJwDO0Cvzh4xCgQG`
Mr. Jim H. Kellie	`N1Ai4RfV0SRJf2dJwDO0Cvzh4xCgQG`

Ms. Sallie Andersen	`xE5Y6ImDHMQUX6EMlBHD9H17SAoTamH6zCBjFm1`

Once generated, these similarity keys can be used in many ways, including sorting by similarity key in one dataset, using them as a basis for matching across datasets, or as a fuzzy search mechanism.

Algorithm & AI Model Information

When using this API, it is not necessary to specify a matching algorithm. The API will default to using the ai-medium algorithm for similarity key generation.

Matching Algorithm

Each colored group represents individual names that generate identical similarity keys, meaning they are considered matches despite spelling variations, nicknames, abbreviations, or formatting differences.
