Get Company Match Similarity Key API
Description:
Company/Organization name data can be inconsistent, making redundant data difficult to track down or match
(GE, Gen
Electric, G.E., etc.). This API provides a hashed similarity key from the input data used to match with
other
similar company name data. Use the generated similarity key, rather than the actual data itself, to match
and/or
sort company name data to identify inconsistently represented company and organization name data. This
avoids the
problems of data inconsistency, misspellings, and name variations when matching within a single dataset or
across
multiple data sources.
Heuristics, phonetics, specific knowledge bases, categorization hierarchies, contextual machine learning,
and other various algorithms are used as the basis of our similarity key generation.
You can choose from multiple matching algorithms, "wide", "medium", and "narrow". "Wide" will find a greater
number
of matches, but may also find similarly-spelled false positives. "Narrow" will result in tighter matching
requirements, but then may miss a few matches. Your business case will dictate which algorithm is ideal.

Example of generated similarity keys. The names that show the same similarity key are "similar" records.
