Please hint your customers to enter the name in the form "First Name, Last Name" which makes our response more accurate.
Let's have a look at the generated response:
| Key | Datatype | Description |
|---|---|---|
| last_name | String | The last name found |
| first_name | String | The first name found |
| name | String | A lowercase representation of the found first name |
| gender | String | Possible values: male, female, unknown |
| samples | Integer | Number of records found in our database which are matching your request. |
| accuracy | String | This value determines the reliability of our database. A value of 100 means that the results on your gender request are 100% accurate. |
| duration | String | Time that took the server to process the request. |
| strict | Boolean | Shows if the strict mode is enabled. Default: false. If the strict mode is enabled, gender-api will return null in the last_name field if the last_name cannot be found in the database. If the strict mode is disabled, gender-api will try to extract the last name even if it cannot be found in our database. |
