Placeholder Text Generator API
Placeholder Text Generator is a tool for generating placeholder text in various styles including lorem ipsum, tech jargon, hipster, corporate, pirate, fantasy, and sci-fi.
The Placeholder Text Generator API provides reliable and fast access to placeholder text generator data through a simple REST interface. Built for developers who need consistent, high-quality results with minimal setup time.
To use Placeholder Text Generator, you need an API key. You can get one by creating a free account and visiting your dashboard.
GET Endpoint

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
style | string | The style of placeholder text that was generated | |
paragraphs | array | Array of generated paragraph strings in requested style | |
paragraph_countPremium | number | Total number of paragraphs generated by the API | |
sentences_per_paragraphPremium | number | Number of sentences configured per paragraph | |
total_sentencesPremium | number | Total count of all sentences across all paragraphs | |
total_wordsPremium | number | Total word count across all generated paragraphs | |
total_charactersPremium | number | Total character count in all generated placeholder text | |
full_textPremium | string | Complete generated placeholder text with all paragraphs |
Headers
Required and optional headers for Placeholder Text Generator API requests:
| Header Name | Required | Example Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
X-API-Key | required | your_api_key_here | Your APIVerve API key. Found in your dashboard under API Keys. |
Accept | optional | application/json | Specify response format: application/json (default), application/xml, or application/yaml |
User-Agent | optional | MyApp/1.0 | Identifies your application for analytics and debugging purposes |
X-Request-ID | optional | req_123456789 | Custom request identifier for tracking and debugging requests |
Cache-Control | optional | no-cache | Control caching behavior for the request and response |
GraphQL AccessALPHA
Access Placeholder Text Generator through GraphQL to combine it with other API calls in a single request. Query only the placeholder text 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 {
placeholdertext(
input: {
style: "tech"
paragraphs: 3
sentences: 5
}
) {
style
paragraphs
paragraph_count
sentences_per_paragraph
total_sentences
total_words
total_characters
full_text
}
}Note: Authentication is handled via the x-api-key header in your GraphQL request, not as a query parameter.
CORS Support
The Placeholder Text Generator API supports Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) with wildcard configuration, allowing you to call Placeholder Text 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 |
Browser Usage: You can call Placeholder Text Generator directly from JavaScript running in the browser without encountering CORS errors. No proxy server or additional configuration needed.
Rate Limiting
Placeholder Text Generator API requests are subject to rate limiting based on your subscription plan. These limits ensure fair usage and maintain service quality for all Placeholder Text 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 |
| Mega | No Limit | Production ready - highest traffic priority |
Learn more about rate limiting →
Rate Limit Headers
When rate limits apply, each Placeholder Text 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, Placeholder Text 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 Placeholder Text Generator:
- Monitor the rate limit headers to track your Placeholder Text Generator usage (Free plan only)
- Cache placeholder text generator responses where appropriate to reduce API calls
- Upgrade to Pro or Mega for guaranteed no-throttle Placeholder Text Generator performance
Note: Placeholder Text Generator rate limits are separate from credit consumption. You may have credits remaining but still hit rate limits when using Placeholder Text Generator on Free tier.
Error Codes
The Placeholder Text 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 |
503 | Service Unavailable | API temporarily unavailable | Wait and retry, check status page for maintenance updates |

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an API key for Placeholder Text Generator?
How many credits does Placeholder Text Generator cost?
Each successful Placeholder Text Generator 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 placeholder text generator lookups.
Can I use Placeholder Text Generator in production?
The free plan is for testing and development only. For production use of Placeholder Text Generator, 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 Placeholder Text Generator from a browser?
What happens if I exceed my Placeholder Text Generator credit limit?
When you reach your monthly credit limit, Placeholder Text Generator 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.
