Response Data Fields
When the request is successful, the data object contains the following fields:
| Field | Type | Sample Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
result | number | Evaluation result | |
operation | string | Operation performed | |
input | object | - | |
â”” a | number | First input | |
â”” b | number | Second input | |
steps | array | - |
Headers
Only X-API-Key is required. Optional headers include Accept for response format negotiation (JSON, XML, or YAML), User-Agent, and X-Request-ID for request tracing. See all request headers →
GraphQL AccessALPHA
Access Math Calculator through GraphQL to combine it with other API calls in a single request. Query only the math calculator 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.

input: {
operation: "add"
a: 10
b: 5
}
) {

input {

}
steps
}
}Note: Authentication is handled via the x-api-key header in your GraphQL request, not as a query parameter.
CORS Support
The Math Calculator 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
Math Calculator 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 Math Calculator 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 Math Calculator
Official Math Calculator packages on npm, PyPI, NuGet, and JitPack — plus a Postman collection and an OpenAPI spec. See the SDK guide →
No-Code Integrations
Math Calculator 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 Math Calculator?
How many credits does Math Calculator cost?
Each successful Math Calculator 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 math calculator lookups.
Can I use Math Calculator in production?
The free plan is for testing and development only. For production use of Math Calculator, 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 Math Calculator from a browser?
What happens if I exceed my Math Calculator credit limit?
When you reach your monthly credit limit, Math Calculator 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.
