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
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 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.

}
) {

}
}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 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
Placeholder Text 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 Placeholder Text 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 Placeholder Text Generator
Official Placeholder Text Generator packages on npm, PyPI, NuGet, and JitPack — plus a Postman collection and an OpenAPI spec. See the SDK guide →
No-Code Integrations
Placeholder Text Generator 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 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.
