This API requires authentication via API key. Include your API key in the request header:
X-API-Key: your_api_key_hereGraphQL AccessBETA
Most APIVerve APIs support GraphQL queries, allowing you to combine multiple API calls into a single request and retrieve only the data you need. This powerful feature enables you to orchestrate complex data fetching with precise field selection.
Not all APIs support GraphQL. Check the API schema or test in the GraphQL Explorer to confirm availability for this specific endpoint.
Token Cost: GraphQL requests cost 1 token for orchestration, plus the standard token cost for each API called in your query. For example, querying 3 APIs in a single GraphQL request would cost 1 + 3 = 4 tokens total.
POST https://api.apiverve.com/v1/graphqlquery {
  bimivalidator(
    input: { domain: "ebay.com" }
  ) {
    bimi_host
    bimi_record
    bimi_records_count
    has_bimi_record
    host
  }
}Note: Authentication is handled via the x-api-key header in your GraphQL request, not as a query parameter.
