Frequently Asked Questions

APIVerve is a comprehensive API marketplace offering 300+ ready-to-use APIs for developers. Our APIs cover a wide range of use cases including data validation, text processing, image analysis, geolocation, financial data, and much more. All APIs are accessible through a single API key and consistent interface.

Sign up for a free account at dashboard.apiverve.com. Once registered, navigate to the API Keys section in your dashboard to generate your first API key. Free accounts include a generous token allowance to get started.

APIVerve APIs work with any programming language that can make HTTP requests. We provide official SDKs for Node.js, Python, PHP, and Go, plus code examples for cURL, Ruby, Java, and C#. Check our SDK page for installation instructions.

You can be up and running in under 5 minutes. Sign up, get your API key, and make your first request. Our Quick Start guide walks you through the entire process with code examples.

No, you can sign up and use the free tier without providing payment information. A credit card is only required when upgrading to a paid plan.

Include your API key in the X-API-Key header with every request. For example: X-API-Key: your_api_key_here. Never expose your API key in client-side code or public repositories.

Yes, you can regenerate your API key at any time from the API Keys section of your dashboard. Note that regenerating will invalidate your old key immediately, so update your applications before regenerating.

All API requests are encrypted using TLS 1.2+. We do not store the content of your API requests beyond what's necessary for processing. See our security best practices guide for recommendations on keeping your integration secure.

Currently, each account is limited to one API key. You can regenerate your key at any time from the API Keys section of your dashboard if needed.

Immediately regenerate your API key from your dashboard. The old key will be invalidated instantly. Review your usage logs for any suspicious activity and update all applications with the new key.

We log metadata (timestamps, endpoints called, response codes) for analytics and debugging purposes. Request payloads and response data are not stored beyond the processing time needed to serve the request.

Tokens are the unit of measurement for API usage. Each API call consumes a certain number of tokens based on the complexity of the API. Most APIs consume 1 token per call, but some advanced APIs may consume more. Check each API's documentation for its token cost.

If you exceed your monthly token limit, API requests will return a 429 (Too Many Requests) error. You can either wait for your tokens to reset at the start of your next billing cycle, or upgrade your plan for more tokens.

Tokens reset on your billing date each month. Free tier users reset on the 1st of each month. Paid users reset on their subscription anniversary date. Check your dashboard for your exact reset date.

Yes, the Analytics section of your dashboard shows detailed usage statistics including daily/monthly token consumption, most-used APIs, and historical trends. This helps you optimize your usage and plan for growth.

Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated charges. Downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing cycle.

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) and process payments securely through Stripe. Enterprise customers can arrange invoice-based billing.

No, tokens reset at the start of each billing cycle and do not roll over. This ensures consistent service performance for all users.

APIVerve APIs support JSON, XML, YAML, and CSV response formats. JSON is the default. The standard response structure includes status, error (null on success), and data fields.

Yes! APIVerve offers GraphQL support (currently in ALPHA) that allows you to query multiple APIs in a single request. Visit the GraphQL section in your dashboard to try the interactive explorer.

APIVerve maintains 99.9% uptime for all APIs. Check status.apiverve.com for real-time status and historical uptime data. We also provide status page notifications for planned maintenance.

All API errors return a consistent structure with an error code and message. Common errors include 400 (bad request), 401 (invalid API key), 429 (rate limit exceeded), and 500 (server error). Check our error handling guide for detailed information.

Most APIs accept requests up to 10MB. APIs that process files (like image or PDF APIs) may have different limits documented on their individual pages.

Yes, our APIs support CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing). However, we strongly recommend making API calls from your backend server rather than directly from client-side code to protect your API key.

Response times vary by API complexity and payload size. The average response time for each API is listed on its specific documentation page. Our status page shows current performance metrics for all endpoints.

Currently, APIVerve APIs are request-response based and don't support webhooks natively. However, you can implement polling or integrate with third-party webhook services in your application.

The free tier serves as an excellent testing environment. All APIs work identically across all plans, so you can develop and test with your free allocation before going to production.

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time from your dashboard. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period. After cancellation, you'll revert to the free tier.
