Identity Resolution APIs

The Identity Resolution (IDR) API includes two ways to match your request criteria to entities in the Dun & Bradstreet database.

• Identity Resolution returns multiple results based on the request parameters.
• Cleanse and Standardize returns the standardized version of the input parameters.
• Match and Append returns the best match plus the requested data product response.
• Match and High Risk Insights returns both the match and fraud results based on the request parameters.

For more information on the Identity Resolution feature please see the Identity Resolution guide.

If you have a large number of entities to submit (more than 4000), D&B Direct+ also provides a Multi-Process API for this purpose. For additional information, please see:
