Given a Full Name, return the First Name and Last Name.

Given the full name '%full_name%', which may have the first and last name in either order, please:

1. Extract the first name and last name, assuming the most likely common order for first and last names. Prioritize recognizing common first names and last names where possible.
2. If there are more than two parts to the name (e.g., a middle name or a prefix like 'Dr.'), consider only the first and last name.

Example 1
Full Name "John Michael Doe" must return:
First Name: John
Last Name: Doe

Example 2
Full Name "Doe John" must return:
First Name: John
Last Name: Doe

How much does it cost?

You’ve got two options. Both are super simple.

Option 1 – Use your own OpenAI API key.

Totally free on our side. Just plug in your key, and Datablist will send requests through your account. You pay OpenAI directly, based on their usage rates. No middleman. No extra fees.

With your API key, for on 1,000 items, you might pay OpenAI around $2

This is perfect if you already have an OpenAI key or want full control over costs.Bonus: no rate limits from us!

Option 2 – Use Datablist Credits.

No API key? No problem. You can use Datablist’s built-in ChatGPT account. We handle the API stuff for you. You just pay with Datablist credits.

  • API key setup – skipped
  • ChatGPT rate limits – avoided
  • Account restrictions – not your problem

It just works.

TL;DR

  • Use your key = cheaper
  • Use Datablist credits = easier

Either way, you’re in control.
