Individual Name Matching Full Name Match Score Compare API


Description:
This API provides a match score (likelihood of matching) between two individual names on a scale of 0-100, where 100 is the highest possible match.

Heuristics, phonetics, specific knowledge bases, categorization hierarchies, contextual machine learning, and other various algorithms are used as the basis of scoring the match. These algorithms get smarter over time. As the context of the data is known, in this case individual person names, it performs far better than generic string comparison algorithms.


Examples of match scores.
Full Name 1 Full Name 2 Match Score (0-100)
James Kelly Jim Kelly 85
Mr Robert J McCarthy Bob Macarthy 80
George P Lucas Jorge Lucaso 75
Daniel Clark Danny Clarkson 40
R Hill Robert Hill 60
