GraphQL AccessALPHA
Access JSON Schema Generator through GraphQL to combine it with other API calls in a single request. Query only the json schema 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/graphqlquery {
jsonschemagenerator(
input: {
json: {"name":"John Doe","age":30,"email":"[email protected]","active":true}
title: "User Schema"
}
) {

type
properties {
name {

}
age {

}
email {

format
}
active {

}
}
required
}
}Note: Authentication is handled via the x-api-key header in your GraphQL request, not as a query parameter.
CORS Support
The JSON Schema Generator API accepts cross-origin requests from any origin, so it can be called directly from browser-based applications without a proxy. See CORS support →
Rate Limiting
JSON Schema Generator requests are throttled per minute on the Free plan and unthrottled on paid plans. Exceeding the limit returns 429 Too Many Requests; rate-limit usage is reported in the X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers. See per-plan limits and best practices →
Error Codes
The JSON Schema Generator API uses standard HTTP status codes — 200 on success, 400 for invalid parameters, 401 for missing or invalid keys, 403 for insufficient credits, 429 for rate-limit exhaustion, and 500/503 for server-side issues. Each error response includes an X-Request-ID header you can quote when contacting support. See full error handling guide →
SDKs for JSON Schema Generator
Official JSON Schema Generator packages on npm, PyPI, NuGet, and JitPack — plus a Postman collection and an OpenAPI spec. See the SDK guide →
No-Code Integrations
JSON Schema Generator works with Zapier, Make, Pipedream, n8n, and Power Automate using the same API key. See setup guides →
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an API key for JSON Schema Generator?
How many credits does JSON Schema Generator cost?
Each successful JSON Schema Generator API call consumes credits based on plan tier. Check the pricing section above for the exact credit cost. Failed requests and errors don't consume credits, so you only pay for successful json schema generator lookups.
Can I use JSON Schema Generator in production?
The free plan is for testing and development only. For production use of JSON Schema Generator, 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 JSON Schema Generator from a browser?
What happens if I exceed my JSON Schema Generator credit limit?
When you reach your monthly credit limit, JSON Schema Generator 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.
