402 Payment Required. Sign USDCtransferWithAuthorization, retry with theX-PAYMENT header.DESCRIPTION
Scores how similar two values are on a 0-100 scale for fuzzy matching and dedup confidence. Compares two values of a given type (company, name, address, email, phone, or text), blending match-key equality, Jaro-Winkler, and token overlap, and reports whether they share a match key. The companion to the match-key endpoints: bucket by key, then rank candidates by score. Deterministic and instant — no external lookups. Use it as a fuzzy match score, string similarity, or record-pair scoring API.

| endpoint | description | price |
|---|---|---|
| address-parse | Parses a freeform US street address into components: number, street, unit, city, state, and zip. | $0.005 |
| match-key-address | Generates a match key for postal addresses with USPS-style standardization so equivalent addresses collide. | $0.005 |
| match-key-company | Generates a deterministic similarity key for company names so different spellings of the same business collide. | $0.005 |
| match-key-email | Normalizes email addresses into a match key so aliases of the same inbox collide. | $0.005 |
| match-key-name | Generates a match key for person names so variants of the same person collide. | $0.005 |
| match-key-phone | Normalizes phone numbers into a canonical E.164 match key so formatting variants like '(415) 555-0100' and '+1 415-555-0100' collide. | $0.005 |
