Better data equals better results! Analytics, reporting, matching across sources, Data Science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence - all of these applications are only as good as the quality of the underlying data. Company name data can be inconsistent, making redundant company or organization name data difficult to track down or match. This API provides an algorithmically-generated similarity key used to match with other similar company name data. Data can then be sorted or matched using these similarity keys, rather than using the inconsistent data itself. This enables de-duplication of existing databases, prevention of duplicates to enter existing databases, and matching inconsistent data sources across databases for data virtualization enhancements and creation of new data sources. You can choose from multiple matching algorithms, "wide", "medium", "narrow", and "ai-plus" (ideal for global names). "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. "AI-plus" uses our deepest AI models to determine the similarity key. Your business case and some experimenting will dictate which algorithm is ideal for you. This API has also been built into Interzoid's Cloud Data Connect product so you can run match reports and insert similarity keys into various database platforms to automate use of the API using your RapidAPI key and without any coding necessary. This enables match reports and similarity keys to be used instantly and out of the box with top database platforms such as AWS Aurora/RDS, Snowflake, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Google SQL, Azure SQL, CockroachDB, SkySQL, MS Access, MS Excel, CSV files, ODBC sources, and many more.
