Built for developers

Everything you need in one endpoint

Plain GET requests, JSON responses and a key that works from any language. Most integrations take minutes.

One GET request

One endpoint and one query parameter. No SDK required, though we have them.

Batches of up to 100

Send repeated name[] parameters and get an array back in the same order.

Localization

Add a two-letter country_id to scope the estimate to one country.

Full names, any alphabet

Send full names as they are. Diacritics and non-Latin alphabets are supported.

Know how much data is behind it

Every result carries the number of records the estimate is based on.

Rate-limit headers

Every response reports your limit, what's left and when the window resets.

Official client libraries for eight languages

Install the official Demografix package for your stack. Each library wraps all three name analysis APIs behind one API key, so you can integrate gender, age, and nationality without writing a client.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get an API key?: Create a free account and your key is waiting in your account dashboard. Pass it as the apikey query parameter.
How many names can I send per request?: Up to 100, using repeated name[] parameters. The response is an array in the same order as your input.
How is usage counted?: Every name you send counts against your monthly quota, including each name in a batch. A batch of 100 names uses 100.
What happens when I reach my limit?: Requests return 429 until your quota resets. There are no overage fees, and upgrades take effect immediately.
How accurate is it?: Every result includes the number of records behind the estimate. Predictions describe name statistics, not individuals, so they are most reliable across many names.
Do you have SDKs?: Yes, official libraries for 8 languages , all using the same key. Or call the endpoint directly: it's a single GET request.
