First install our library with composer:
$ composer require gender-api/client
use GenderApi\Client as GenderApiClient;
try {
$apiClient = new GenderApiClient('insert your API key');
// Query a single name
$lookup = $apiClient->getByFirstName('elisabeth');
if ($lookup->genderFound()) {
echo $lookup->getGender(); // female
}
// Query a full name and improve the result by providing a country code
$lookup = $apiClient->getByFirstNameAndLastNameAndCountry('Thomas Johnson', 'US');
if ($lookup->genderFound()) {
echo $lookup->getGender(); // male
echo $lookup->getFirstName(); // Thomas
echo $lookup->getLastName(); // Johnson
}
} catch (GenderApi\Exception $e) {
// Name lookup failed due to a network error or insufficient requests
// left. See https://gender-api.com/en/api-docs/error-codes
echo 'Exception: ' . $e->getMessage();
}

function getGender($firstname) {
$myKey = 'insert your server key here';
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents(
'https://gender-api.com/get?key=' . $myKey .
'&name=' . urlencode($firstname)));
return $data->gender;
}
echo getGender('markus'); //Output: male
First install our library with npm:
$ npm i gender-api.com-client --save
import {Client as GenderApiClient, ResultSingleName} from "gender-api.com-client";
const genderApiClient = new GenderApiClient("your API key");
try {
genderApiClient.getByFirstName('theresa', (response: ResultSingleName) => {
console.log(response.gender); //female
console.log(response.accuracy); //98
});
genderApiClient.getByFirstNameAndCountry('john', 'US', (response: ResultSingleName) => {
console.log(response.gender); //male
console.log(response.accuracy); //99
});
}
catch(e) {
