Get Full Name Match Similarity Key API

Generate similarity keys for individual name matching using AI models

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 internationa 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.

Full 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.
