Morse Code API
Overview
To use Morse Code, you need an API key. You can get one by creating a free account and visiting your dashboard.

}Authentication
The Morse Code API requires authentication via API key. Include your API key in the request header:
X-API-Key: your_api_key_hereInteractive API Playground
Test the Morse Code API directly in your browser with live requests and responses.

Response Structure
All API responses follow a consistent structure with the following fields:
| Field | Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
status | string | Indicates whether the request was successful ("ok") or failed ("error") | ok |
error | string | null | Contains error message if status is "error", otherwise null | null |
data | object | null | Contains the API response data if successful, otherwise null | {...} |

Response Data Fields
When the request is successful, the data object contains the following fields:
| Field | Type | Sample Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
text | string | Decoded text from the Morse code input | |
morse | string | Original Morse code that was decoded | |
stats | object | Statistics about the Morse code decoding | |
â”” characters | number | Total number of characters in decoded text | |
â”” dits | number | Total count of dits (dots) in Morse code | |
â”” dahs | number | Total count of dahs (dashes) in Morse code | |
valid | boolean | Whether the Morse code is valid and properly formatted | |
audioPremium | object | Audio file information including URL and metadata | |
â”” audioFile | string | Unique identifier for the generated audio file | |
â”” format | string | Audio file format (e.g., .wav, .mp3) | |
â”” downloadURL | string | Signed URL to download the generated audio file | |
â”” duration | string | Duration of the audio file in seconds | |
â”” frequency | string | Frequency of the Morse code tone in Hz | |
â”” sampleRate | string | Sample rate of the audio file in Hz | |
â”” expires | number | Unix timestamp when the audio download URL expires |
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 Morse Code through GraphQL to combine it with other API calls in a single request. Query only the morse code 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 {

input: {
audio: true
text: "This Is A Message"
}

}

audio {

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