CLIENTS EN VOORBEELDCODES
Hier vind je een lijst van beschikbare clients voor onze API en enkele voorbeeldcodes voor verschillende talen. Gebruik gerust alle voorbeelden die we aanbieden binnen je eigen code.
PHP met composer
Installeer eerst onze bibliotheek met composer:
composer require gender-api/client<?php
use GenderApi\Client as GenderApiClient;
$client = new GenderApiClient('your-api-key');
// Simple gender lookup
$result = $client->getByFirstName('Elisabeth');
if ($result->genderFound()) {
echo $result->getGender(); // "female"
echo $result->getAccuracy(); // 99
}
// First name with country (e.g., "Andrea" varies by country)
$result = $client->getByFirstNameAndCountry('Andrea', 'IT');
echo $result->getGender(); // "male" (in Italy)
// Full name with automatic first/last name splitting
$result = $client->getByFirstNameAndLastName('Sandra Miller');
echo $result->getFirstName(); // "Sandra"
echo $result->getLastName(); // "Miller"
echo $result->getGender(); // "female"
// Email address analysis
$result = $client->getByEmailAddress('elisabeth.smith@company.com');
echo $result->getGender(); // "female"
// Batch processing - multiple names in one call
$names = ['Michael', 'Sarah', 'Kim'];
$results = $client->getByMultipleNames($names);
foreach ($results as $result) {
printf(
"%s: %s (%d%% confidence)\n",
$result->getFirstName(),
$result->getGender(),
$result->getAccuracy()
);
}

PHP legacy
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 $data->gender;
}
echo getGender('markus'); //Output: male
TypeScript
Installeer eerst onze bibliotheek met npm:
npm install gender-api.com-client --saveimport { Client } from 'gender-api.com-client';
const client = new Client('your-api-key');
// Simple gender lookup
const result = await client.getByFirstName('Theresa');
console.log(`${result.first_name} is ${result.gender} (Probability: ${result.probability}`);
// First name with country (e.g., "Andrea" varies by country)
const resultWithCountry = await client.getByFirstName('Andrea', { country: 'IT' });
console.log(`${resultWithCountry.first_name} in Italy is ${resultWithCountry.gender}`);
// Full name with automatic first/last name splitting
const fullResult = await client.getByFullName('John Smith');
console.log(`${fullResult.first_name} ${fullResult.last_name} is ${fullResult.gender}`);
// Email address analysis
const emailResult = await client.getByEmailAddress('marie.curie@example.com');
console.log(`Email gender: ${emailResult.gender}`);
// Batch processing - multiple names in one call
const names = [
{ id: '1', first_name: 'Theresa', country: 'US' },
{ id: '2', first_name: 'John', country: 'US' }
];
const batchResults = await client.getByFirstNameMultiple(names);
batchResults.forEach(r => {
console.log(`ID: ${r.input.id}, Gender: ${r.gender}`);
});
// Account statistics
const stats = await client.getStatistics();
console.log(`Credits Remaining: ${stats.remaining_credits}`);
