Baby Names API

healthy 3,731 Subscribers

US given-name popularity from 1880 to 2008 as an API — the top 1,000 names per year for each sex (SSA-derived dataset, 6,782 names). Pull a name's full popularity trend (e.g. Emma → girls: rank #1 in 2008, peaked again in 1881), get the top names for any year (e.g. 1990 → Jessica, Ashley, Brittany), or search names by prefix/substring. Each data point carries the year, the share of births (percent and per-million) and the rank. Ideal for name-trend visualisations, baby-name apps, nostalgia/genealogy tools and data journalism.

Name API — oanor API marketplace

Name API

Clean up and parse personal names. The case endpoint applies proper name-casing that ordinary title-casing gets wrong — McDonald, MacLeod, O'Brien, D'Angelo, hyphenated double-barrelled names, lower-case particles (van, von, de, la, der) and Roman-numeral suffixes (II, III, IV). The parse endpoint splits a full name into salutation, first, middle and last name and suffix, and also returns a properly-cased version of each part. Perfect for tidying user sign-ups, CRM and mailing lists, deduplicating contacts, formatting names on documents and normalising imported data. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. Parsing is tuned for Western (given-name-first) order. Distinct from baby-name popularity data and locale display-name lookups.

Name Insights API — oanor API marketplace

Name Insights API

Enrich a first name with predicted gender, age and nationality — with confidence probabilities and an optional country bias for higher accuracy. One combined call returns all three. Ideal for CRM enrichment, personalization, form pre-fill, audience analytics and demographic segmentation.

Mozilla Add-ons (Firefox Extensions) API — oanor API marketplace

Mozilla Add-ons (Firefox Extensions) API

Live Firefox add-on stats from the official Mozilla Add-ons (AMO) API — no key, nothing stored. The adoption-and-reputation view of the Firefox ecosystem: how many users an extension or theme has, how it is rated and reviewed, and which add-ons are most popular, distinct from the other developer-ecosystem and package APIs in the catalogue. The addon endpoint returns a single add-on in full — its average daily users, weekly downloads, the star rating with review count, authors, version, type and categories. The search endpoint searches add-ons sortable by users, rating or relevance, each with its user count and rating. The top endpoint returns the most-used add-ons, optionally filtered to extensions or themes. Build extension-popularity dashboards, "is this add-on still maintained and trusted" widgets, competitor trackers and developer-portfolio tools on top of real Mozilla Add-ons data. Look up an add-on by its slug (ublock-origin, darkreader); average daily users is the headline popularity metric and the rating is the community reputation.

Homebrew Install Analytics API — oanor API marketplace

Homebrew Install Analytics API

Live install analytics for Homebrew, the macOS and Linux package manager, from the public formulae.brew.sh feed — no key, nothing stored. The adoption view of the Homebrew ecosystem: how much each command-line formula and each desktop-app cask is installed, and the most-installed packages overall, distinct from the Homebrew formula-catalog API in the catalogue (which describes a package — this measures how much it is actually used). The formula endpoint returns a command-line tool's install counts over 30, 90 and 365 days plus install-on-request, with its version and description. The cask endpoint returns a desktop app's install counts. The top endpoint returns the most-installed formulae or casks over a chosen window, ranked. Build developer-tool popularity dashboards, "is this tool still maintained and used" widgets, package-trend trackers and ecosystem-health tools on top of real Homebrew analytics. Look up a formula by its name (wget, node, ffmpeg) or a cask by its token (google-chrome, visual-studio-code); counts come from Homebrew's opted-in user analytics.
