OpenAPI Specification

namegender-gender-api-openapi.yml Raw ↑ 
openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  title: NameGender Gender API
  version: 1.0.0
  summary: Infer gender from names, emails and usernames, with the evidence behind each answer.
  description: 'Every lookup endpoint accepts both GET and POST so it can be called from a browser, a shell or a server. All paths live under `/api/v1`; a future breaking change will get a new version prefix instead of altering these.


    **Success and failure.** The HTTP status code is the only success signal: a 200 carries the result, anything else carries the error body described below. There is no separate success flag in the JSON.


    **Credits.** One credit per resolved name, not per request: a bulk call for 100 names costs 100 credits. Credits are checked before any work starts, so a request is never half-processed. Free accounts get 100 credits per day.


    **Rate limit.** 1200 requests per minute per API key by default, counted per key rather than per IP so that several customers behind one address do not share a bucket. Every response carries `X-RateLimit-Remaining`; a 429 carries `Retry-After`.


    **Errors.** Every failure, at every status code, returns the same body shape. Branch on the machine-readable `error` field, never on `message`: messages are translated into 22 languages and their wording can change.


    **Support.** Each response carries a `request_id`, also sent as the `X-Request-Id` header. Quote it in any support request and we can find the exact call in our logs. You may send your own `X-Request-Id` to correlate with your tracing system.


    **Data version.** Responses include `data_version`, the name-dataset snapshot that produced the answer. If a result changes between two calls, comparing this field is the first thing to check.'
