Company Name Match API - Identifying Inconsistent, Similar, and Duplicate Company and Organization Name Data

API Overview

This API provides a powerful mechanism for matching inconsistent company name data within or across various data sources and datasets.

AI-Powered

Leveraging AI models, specialized algorithms, and extensive knowledge bases for accurate matching.

Flexible Algorithms

Choose from "wide", "narrow", "ai-plus-narrow", "ai-plus-wide", "ai-medium-narrow", or "ai-medium-wide" (recommended in most cases) matching algorithms to suit your needs.

Global Capability

Algorithms "ai-medium-wide" and "ai-medium-narrow" handle international data with our deepest AI model for best results.

How It Works

Company Input	Similarity Key
B of A	`k2HDzRo6pObj5PkfW5sskHTHESF7AQ`
Bank of America	`k2HDzRo6pObj5PkfW5sskHTHESF7AQ`
Thompson Inc.	`lfu9lPojomFZXCDz9uatu1_z-6svBA1`
GE	`O1PJ_fmAE14bHNOaPoc_GzaXFBHdFhuM6`
Gen. electric	`O1PJ_fmAE14bHNOaPoc_GzaXFBHdFhuM6`
Kellogs	`Rf6RCPXSmrZOp8FKRSjQuRvfzO3ef`
THOMPSON COMPANY	`lfu9lPojomFZXCDz9uatu1_z-6svBA1`
tompsen incorporated	`lfu9lPojomFZXCDz9uatu1_z-6svBA1`

Company and organization names generating the same similarity key are considered "similar". 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 Options

wide

Very fast algorithm with a wider umbrella of similarity. Better when you have other data that will also serve as part of match criteria.

narrow

Very fast algorithm, more stringent than wide. Better if you are matching on company or organization name only.

ai-plus-wide

Balances speed and precision with a wider similarity umbrella. Ideal for matching with additional data criteria.

ai-plus-narrow

Balances speed and precision with a more stringent matching criteria. Better for matching solely on company or organization names.

ai-medium-wide

High matching accuracy with a wider similarity range, especially for use with the availability of additional matching criteria. Recommended for most use cases, but may have longer response times.

Recommended

ai-medium-narrow

Best matching accuracy when matching solely on company or organization names without any other match criteria. Provides the most precise matching, but may have longer response times.

Only one algorithm can be used as a parameter to the API at a time. Different algorithms will yield different matching results and similarity keys. Matching can occur with values whose similarity keys have been generated with the same algorithm. Choose between narrow and wide variants based on your matching criteria and data availability.
