The Tense Converter API supports the following response content types:
application/json
, application/xml
, application/yaml
You can specify the response content type by setting the Accept
header in your request. If you don't specify a content type, the API will default to application/json
.
The Tense Converter API uses an API Key to authenticate requests. You can view and manage your API key by visiting your dashboard.
Your API keys carry many privileges. To keep them from being abused, please do not share the keys on client-side code or Github etc. Keep them very secure.
All requests made to the API must contain the header x-api-key
in each of your requests. API requests without authentication will fail.
All API requests must also be made over secure HTTPS
. Requests made over plain HTTP
will fail.
Error Code | Meaning |
---|---|
401 | Your request was made with invalid credentials. This error also appears when you don't pass the x-api-key header in your request.

{
"status": "error",
"data": null,
"error": "tokens have been depleted",
"code": 429
}
Each subscription has its own monthly token limit. Your token count is based on your subscription plan. If you reach your limits, don't worry. You can always upgrade or downgrade at any time. View Pricing
When you reach your limit, the service will stop responding and typically return an HTTP 429
response status code. The error will also contain a detailed JSON.
The Tense Converter API uses the following error code:
Error Code | Meaning |
---|---|
429 | You have exceeded your rate limit and further requests will be denied until the next cycle. |
For reference, the Tense Converter API uses the following error codes:
Error Code | Meaning |
---|---|
Code | Message |
200 | The request was successful. The response will include the requested data. |
400 | The request was invalid. The response will include a message that explains the error. |
401 | The request was not authorized. Usually, this means that the API key is missing or invalid. |
403 | This means that the request was trying to access a resource that it does not have permission to access. |
404 | This means that the resource you are trying to access does not exist. |
429 | This means that you have reached the rate limit. The response will include a Retry-After header that indicates how many seconds you need to wait before making a new request. |
500 | This means that there was an error on the server side. We are alerted when this happens and we will work to fix it as soon as possible. |
