CORS Support
The Mad Libs Generator API supports Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) with wildcard configuration, allowing you to call Mad Libs Generator directly from browser-based applications without proxy servers.
| CORS Header | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
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 |

Rate Limiting
Mad Libs Generator API requests are subject to rate limiting based on your subscription plan. These limits ensure fair usage and maintain service quality for all Mad Libs Generator users.
| Plan | Rate Limit | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 5 requests/min | Hard rate limit enforced - exceeding will return 429 errors |
| Starter | No Limit | Production ready - standard traffic priority |
| Pro | No Limit | Production ready - preferred traffic priority |

Rate Limit Headers
When rate limits apply, each Mad Libs Generator response includes headers to help you track your usage:
| Header | Description |
|---|---|
X-RateLimit-Limit | Maximum number of requests allowed per time window |
X-RateLimit-Remaining | Number of requests remaining in the current window |
X-RateLimit-Reset | Unix timestamp when the rate limit window resets |
Handling Rate Limits
Free Plan: When you exceed your rate limit, Mad Libs 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 Mad Libs Generator:
- Monitor the rate limit headers to track your Mad Libs Generator usage (Free plan only)
- Cache mad libs generator responses where appropriate to reduce API calls
- Upgrade to Pro or Mega for guaranteed no-throttle Mad Libs Generator performance
Note: Mad Libs Generator rate limits are separate from credit consumption. You may have credits remaining but still hit rate limits when using Mad Libs Generator on Free tier.
Error Codes
The Mad Libs Generator API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate success or failure:
| Code | Message | Description | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|
200 | OK | Request successful, data returned | No action needed - request was successful |
400 | Bad Request | Invalid request parameters or malformed request | Check required parameters and ensure values match expected formats |
401 | Unauthorized | Missing or invalid API key | Include x-api-key header with valid API key from dashboard |
403 | Forbidden | API key lacks permission or insufficient credits | Check credit balance in dashboard or upgrade plan |
429 | Too Many Requests | Rate limit exceeded (Free: 5 req/min) | Implement request throttling or upgrade to paid plan |
500 | Internal Server Error | Server error occurred | Retry request after a few seconds, contact support if persists |
