match-name

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.

• 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
