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

CORS Support

The Game Character Generator API supports Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) with wildcard configuration, allowing you to call Game Character Generator 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 call Game Character Generator directly from JavaScript running in the browser without encountering CORS errors. No proxy server or additional configuration needed.

Rate Limiting

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

PlanRate LimitDescription
Free5 requests/minHard rate limit enforced - exceeding will return 429 errors
StarterNo LimitProduction ready - standard traffic priority
ProNo LimitProduction ready - preferred traffic priority
MegaNo LimitProduction ready - highest traffic priority

Learn more about rate limiting →

Rate Limit Headers

When rate limits apply, each Game Character Generator 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, Game Character 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 Game Character Generator:

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

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

Error Codes

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

CodeMessageDescriptionSolution
