GraphQL AccessALPHA

Access MAC Address Lookup through GraphQL to combine it with other API calls in a single request. Query only the mac address lookup 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 {
  macaddresslookup(
    input: {
      mac: "00-B0-D0-63-C2-26"
    }
  ) {
    mac
    isValid
    vendor
    oui
    formats {
      colon
      dash
      dot
      raw
    }
  }
}

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

CORS Support

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

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

Rate Limiting

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

Learn more about rate limiting →

Rate Limit Headers

When rate limits apply, each MAC Address Lookup response includes headers to help you track your usage:

Handling Rate Limits

Free Plan: When you exceed your rate limit, MAC Address Lookup 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 MAC Address Lookup:

• Monitor the rate limit headers to track your MAC Address Lookup usage (Free plan only)
• Cache mac address lookup responses where appropriate to reduce API calls
• Upgrade to Pro or Mega for guaranteed no-throttle MAC Address Lookup performance

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

Error Codes

The MAC Address Lookup API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate success or failure:
