How this service works
Fuzzy-match two names or addresses and return a 0-100 similarity score with a match decision. Normalizes legal forms, business stop-words, person titles and address abbreviations BEFORE the fuzzy compare, then fuses token, prefix, phonetic and edit similarity. Returns the score, the per-component scores, the normalized forms and is_match. Similarity indicators, not authoritative identity resolution.
Output
Returns fuzzy match signals, normalized forms of both input names, and a numeric confidence score (0-100) indicating how likely the two names refer to the same entity, along with match/no-match determination based on the per-type or user-specified threshold.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you check whether 'International Business Machines Corp.' and 'IBM Corporation' are the same company and give me a match confidence score? Use the company entity type.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://payai.agentstools.dev/match/nameWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to determine if two company or entity names refer to the same real-world organization, especially for deduplication pipelines, CRM data cleaning, or joining datasets from different sources that may use inconsistent name formatting. It is preferable over simple string equality checks when names may include abbreviations, legal suffixes, punctuation differences, or alternate spellings.
Side effects
- Missing required query parameters 'a' or 'b' returns a 400 error
- Empty string inputs may produce low-confidence scores rather than an error
- Very short or ambiguous names (e.g. single letters) may yield unreliable confidence scores
- Unsupported entity type value causes validation error
- Network or upstream service failure returns 5xx error
