GraphQL AccessALPHA

Access Gender Detector through GraphQL to combine it with other API calls in a single request. Query only the gender detector 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 {
  genderdetector(
    input: {
      name: "John Mcdonald"
      country: "US"
    }
  ) {
    name
    country
    detected
    gender
  }
}

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

CORS Support

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

Browser Usage: You can call Gender Detector directly from JavaScript running in the browser without encountering CORS errors. No proxy server or additional configuration needed.

Rate Limiting

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

Learn more about rate limiting →

Rate Limit Headers

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

Handling Rate Limits

Free Plan: When you exceed your rate limit, Gender Detector 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 Gender Detector:

• Monitor the rate limit headers to track your Gender Detector usage (Free plan only)
• Cache gender detector responses where appropriate to reduce API calls
• Upgrade to Pro or Mega for guaranteed no-throttle Gender Detector performance

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

Error Codes

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