• Gender API
• NameAPI
• Namsor

You can execute:

$ python3 apikeyadd.py

To configure your api key

To remember that this idea is optional. Damegender doesn't need api keys to be executed.

Only api2gender.py or downloadjson.py is requiring to configure some API key from (Genderize, Namsor, GenderAPI, NameAPI)
