Headers

Required and optional headers for API requests:

Header NameRequiredExample ValueDescription

Cache-ControlNono-cacheControl caching behavior for the request and response

GraphQL 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.

Note: Authentication is handled via the x-api-key header in your GraphQL request, not as a query parameter.

CORS Support

All APIVerve APIs support Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) with wildcard configuration, allowing you to call the API directly from browser-based applications without proxy servers.

CORS HeaderValueDescription
Access-Control-Allow-Origin*Accepts requests from any origin
Access-Control-Allow-Methods*Accepts any HTTP method
Access-Control-Allow-Headers*Accepts any request headers

Browser Usage: You can make direct API calls from JavaScript running in the browser without encountering CORS errors. No additional configuration needed.

Rate Limiting

APIVerve implements rate limiting to ensure fair usage and maintain service quality across all users. Rate limits vary by subscription plan and are applied per API key.

PlanRate LimitDescription
Free5 requests/minHard rate limit enforced - exceeding will return 429 errors
StarterSmart LimitingProduction ready - performance-based throttling only as last resort
ProNo LimitProduction ready - no rate limiting or throttling
MegaNo LimitProduction ready - no rate limiting or throttling

Rate Limit Headers

When rate limits apply, each API response includes headers to help you track your usage:

HeaderDescription
X-RateLimit-LimitMaximum number of requests allowed per time window
X-RateLimit-RemainingNumber of requests remaining in the current window
X-RateLimit-ResetUnix timestamp when the rate limit window resets

Handling Rate Limits

Free Plan: When you exceed your rate limit, the API returns a 429 Too Many Requests status code. Your application should implement appropriate backoff logic to handle this gracefully.

Starter Plan: Smart limiting may slow down request processing during extreme load as a last resort, but will not return errors. All paid plans (Starter, Pro, Mega) are production-ready.

Pro & Mega Plans: No rate limiting or throttling applied.

Best Practices:

  • Monitor the rate limit headers to track your usage (Free plan only)
  • Implement caching where appropriate to reduce API calls
  • Upgrade to Pro or Mega for guaranteed no-throttle performance

Note: Rate limits are separate from token consumption. You may have tokens remaining but still hit rate limits on Free tier.

Client Libraries

Error Codes

The API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate success or failure:

CodeMessageDescriptionSolution
200OKRequest successful, data returnedNo action needed - request was successful
400Bad RequestInvalid request parameters or malformed requestCheck required parameters and ensure values match expected formats
401UnauthorizedMissing or invalid API keyInclude x-api-key header with valid API key from dashboard
403ForbiddenAPI key lacks permission or insufficient tokensCheck token balance in dashboard or upgrade plan
429Too Many RequestsRate limit exceeded (Free: 5 req/min)Implement request throttling or upgrade to paid plan
500Internal Server ErrorServer error occurredRetry request after a few seconds, contact support if persists
503Service UnavailableAPI temporarily unavailableWait and retry, check status page for maintenance updates

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an API key?
Sign up for a free account at dashboard.apiverve.com. Your API key will be automatically generated and available in your dashboard. The free plan includes 1,000 tokens plus a 500 token bonus.
What are tokens and how do they work?

Tokens are your API usage currency. Each successful API call consumes tokens based on the API's complexity. Most APIs cost 1 token per call, while more complex APIs may cost 2-5 tokens. Failed requests and errors don't consume tokens. Check the API details above to see the token cost for this specific API.

Can I use this API in production?

The free plan is for testing and development only. For production use, upgrade to a paid plan (Starter, Pro, or Mega) which includes commercial use rights, no attribution requirements, and guaranteed uptime SLAs. All paid plans are production-ready.

Can I use this API from a browser?
Yes! All APIVerve APIs support CORS with wildcard configuration, so you can call them directly from browser-based JavaScript without needing a proxy server. See the CORS section above for details.
What happens if I exceed my token limit?

When you reach your monthly token limit, API requests will return an error until you upgrade your plan or wait for the next billing cycle. You'll receive notifications at 80% and 95% usage to give you time to upgrade if needed.
