Python example

This example sends one record to the match endpoint and prints out the resulting matches.

import requests
import json

# set your session IDs
API_KEY = 'YOUR API KEY'
PROJECT_ID = 'YOUR PROJECT ID'

# the field names in the match_object must match the field names in your session
match_object = {
  "name": 'john smith',
  "address": '222 W Merchandise Mart Plz, Chicago IL',
  "phone": "(555) 725-0195"
}

# post the
post_data = {
  'api_key': API_KEY,
  'project_id': PROJECT_ID,
  'threshold': 0.5, # set this to a value between 0 and 1 for how conservative the returned matches should be
  'object': match_object
}

r = requests.post('https://app.dedupe.io/match/',
data=json.dumps(post_data))

# print the response from Dedupe.io
print(r.json())
