Release of Optimaize PII Platform, version 10.7.0.
The latest update includes several improvements:
-
NameMatcher: Improve points for Equal Matches The NameMatcher Service has been updated to return a full match score of 1.00 for equal names. Previously, the maximum score was 0.97 due to deductions when the birthdate was not included in the request.
-
New Given Names and Surnames Added We continued our research on names, expanding our dictionary with names from Neo English, Spanish, Greek, Azerbaijani, Urdu, and Brazilian Portuguese. These dictionaries are used by the NameParser and NameMatcher components, which are also part of SearchCluster and RiskDetector.
-
Disposable Email Address Detector Increased the number of classified disposable email address (DEA) domains.
Endpoint Information: The endpoint remains unchanged: https://api.nameapi.org/rest/v5.3/
These updates contribute to the continuous improvement of NameAPI's name-handling and classification services. For any queries or support, please contact our support team.

Read postExpanded 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.
