GraphQL AccessALPHA

Access Fortune Cookie Generator through GraphQL to combine it with other API calls in a single request. Query only the fortune cookie generator data you need with precise field selection, and orchestrate complex data fetching workflows.

Credit Cost: Each API called in your GraphQL query consumes its standard credit cost.

POST https://api.apiverve.com/v1/graphql

query {
  fortunecookie {
    fortune
    type
  }
}

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

CORS Support

The Fortune Cookie Generator API supports Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) with wildcard configuration, allowing you to call Fortune Cookie Generator directly from browser-based applications without proxy servers.

Rate Limiting

Fortune Cookie Generator API requests are subject to rate limiting based on your subscription plan. These limits ensure fair usage and maintain service quality for all Fortune Cookie Generator users.

Learn more about rate limiting →

Rate Limit Headers

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

Handling Rate Limits

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

Paid Plans: No rate limiting or throttling applied. All paid plans (Starter, Pro, Mega) are production-ready.

Best Practices for Fortune Cookie Generator:

• Monitor the rate limit headers to track your Fortune Cookie Generator usage (Free plan only)
• Cache fortune cookie generator responses where appropriate to reduce API calls
• Upgrade to Pro or Mega for guaranteed no-throttle Fortune Cookie Generator performance

Note: Fortune Cookie Generator rate limits are separate from credit consumption. You may have credits remaining but still hit rate limits when using Fortune Cookie Generator on Free tier.

Error Codes

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