GraphQL AccessALPHA
Access Markdown Table Generator through GraphQL to combine it with other API calls in a single request. Query only the markdown table 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 {
markdowntable(
input: {
headers: ["Name","Age","City"]
rows: [["John Doe",30,"New York"],["Jane Smith",25,"Los Angeles"],["Bob Johnson",35,"Chicago"]]
alignment: "left"
}
) {

}Note: Authentication is handled via the x-api-key header in your GraphQL request, not as a query parameter.
CORS Support
The Markdown Table 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
Markdown Table 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 Markdown Table 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 Markdown Table Generator
Official Markdown Table Generator packages on npm, PyPI, NuGet, and JitPack — plus a Postman collection and an OpenAPI spec. See the SDK guide →
No-Code Integrations
Markdown Table Generator works with Zapier, Make, Pipedream, n8n, and Power Automate using the same API key. See setup guides →
