Random Identity Generator

Overview

Random Identity works by generating random names, addresses, and other personal information. It returns the generated identity in a structured format.

Endpoint

One host, one path per API. The block below shows this call in four languages; every one of them is the same HTTP request. Making requests covers the timeouts, retries and parameter rules that apply to all of them. The SDKs wrap the same call in a typed client.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"io"
	"net/http"
)

func main() {
	req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/randomidentitygenerator?count=5&includeAvatar=true", nil)
	req.Header.Set("x-api-key", "your_api_key_here")

	res, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer res.Body.Close()

	out, _ := io.ReadAll(res.Body)
	fmt.Println(string(out))
}

Replace your_api_key_here with the key from your dashboard. When the inputs arrive as a list rather than one at a time, batch requests run up to 200 of them through this same API in a single call.

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — there is no token exchange and no per-endpoint scope to configure. Authentication covers creating, rotating and revoking keys.

Parameters

Sent in the query string. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.

Response

Every API returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape. Response format covers the envelope, the other output formats and how premium fields are withheld.

}

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Errors

Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change. Error handling covers the full status list and which of them are worth retrying.

Use cases

Staging Database Seeding

Engineers populating local environments generate synthetic user records to test onboarding flows without exposing real customer contact records.

Prototype Design Mockups

When previewing client dashboards, UX designers fill directory tables with mock names, usernames, and websites instead of repetitive placeholder text.

QA Form Validation

To stress-test registration portals, automated testing suites submit generated email addresses and cell numbers to verify format checks and account creation.

Privacy-Compliant Demos

Sales engineers replace live customer records with synthetic identities during product walkthroughs to avoid revealing personal data on recorded calls.

Other ways to use Random Identity Generator

Set up Random Identity Generator on APIVerve, or reach the same source a different way. Your APIVerve account and credits work on all of them — one key, one balance.
