Access thru REST APIs –

The entire database is available to programmers thru well-designed REST APIs. For API details, samples & help please check API page.

Possibilities  –

• Programmatically fetch information on any name.
• Create better forms by skipping the gender question. Use our API to auto add gender.
• Create interesting insight over existing data. For example how many users are ‘male’ from a certain survey?
• Make creative Apps & websites that consume our REST APIs.
