Normalizing “PR” in your data

When matching or deduplicating company records, the legal suffix is noise — “Acme PR” and “Acme” should resolve to the same entity. One API call strips it and returns a stable canonical form:

curl -X POST https://api.ambect.com/v1/normalize/company \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AMBECT_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "Acme PR", "country": "de"}'

  "data": {
    "canonical": "acme pr",
    "legal_type": null,
    "tokens": [
      "acme",
      "pr"
    ]
  },
  "meta": {
    "pipeline": [
      "lowercase",

  }
}
