Introduction to Gender API

Gender API is a web-based API that allows developers to easily and accurately determine the gender of first names. It uses a dictionary of first names, along with algorithms that analyze the frequency of names associated with different genders, to determine the most likely gender of a given name.

Features

• Accurate gender detection for over 200 countries
• Supports over 75 languages
• Easy integration with just a few lines of code
• RESTful API with JSON and XML responses
• High performance with fast response times

Getting Started

To start using the Gender API, first you'll need to sign up for an API key. Once you have your key, you can start making requests to the API. Here's an example:

import requests

name = 'John'
api_key = 'your-api-key'

response = requests.get(f'https://gender-api.com/get?name={name}&key={api_key}')

if response.status_code == 200:
    data = response.json()
    print(f"The gender of {name} is {data['gender']}.")
else:
    print("Unable to get gender.")

This example sends a request to the Gender API for the name "John". The API returns a JSON object that contains the gender of the name.

Pricing

Gender API offers both free and paid plans. The free plan allows for up to 500 requests per month, while paid plans offer higher limits and additional features such as batch processing and a dedicated support team.

Conclusion

Gender API is a useful tool for developers who need to determine the gender of first names. With support for over 200 countries and 75 languages, it's a powerful and accurate solution that can be easily integrated into your applications.
