Company Name Matching API

Leverage AI models to generate similarity keys for company and organization name matching

API Overview

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

AI-Powered

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

Flexible Algorithms

Choose from "wide", "narrow", "model-v3-narrow", or "model-v3-wide" (recommended in most cases) matching algorithms to suit your needs.

Global Capability

Algorithms "model-v3-wide" and "model-v3-narrow" handle global data with our deepest AI model for best results.

How It Works

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

Company Input Similarity Key

Once generated, these similarity keys can be used for sorting, matching across datasets, or as a fuzzy search mechanism.

Algorithm & AI Model Options

Choose the algorithm that best fits your matching requirements.

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.

model-v3-narrow

Our newest high matching accuracy when matching solely on company or organization names without any of your own other match criteria, including applicability with international organization names. Provides the most precise matching.

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.
