Software Version 11.5.0 released - Check Your Credit Balance via the API
NameAPI 11.5.0 is now live on api.nameapi.org.
The main addition is the new Credit Balance endpoint. With a single GET request you can see whether your API key can still make calls, how many credits are left in total, and how they split into free, monthly, and one-time credits. Checking your credit balance does not consume any credits, so you can check it as often as needed. See the separate news "Credit Balance API" for the full description and examples.
Also in this release:
- Business name detection refined: tuned matching and parsing for company names, following the module introduced in 11.4.0.
- Domain name classification improved with new domain classifications.
- Internal library and platform updates.
Existing integrations are not affected; all changes are additive.

Expanded Hungarian Coverage in the NameAPI Database
Few European naming traditions pack as much structure into a name as Hungarian. Besides using the Eastern name order — the family name comes first, the given name second, Hungarian routinely folds honorifics, marital status, and generational markers directly into the name string. That makes accurate parsing both a challenge and a rewarding one, and we've expanded our NameAPI database to meet it.
