Authentication

The Inflation Rate API requires authentication via API key. Include your API key in the request header:

X-API-Key: your_api_key_here

GraphQL AccessALPHA

Access Inflation Rate through GraphQL to combine it with other API calls in a single request. Query only the inflation rate 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 {
  inflation(
    input: {
      country: "US"
      year: 2023
    }
  ) {
    country
    countryName
    year
    inflationRate
    cpiIndex
    cpiBaseYear
    lastUpdated
  }
}

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

CORS Support

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

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

Learn more about CORS support →

Rate Limiting

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

Learn more about rate limiting →

Rate Limit Headers

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

Handling Rate Limits

Free Plan: When you exceed your rate limit, Inflation Rate 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 Inflation Rate:

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

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

Error Codes

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