Random Identity Generator API
Random Identity is a simple tool for generating random identities. It returns a random name, address, and more.
The Random Identity Generator API provides reliable and fast access to random identity generator data through a simple REST interface. Built for developers who need consistent, high-quality results with minimal setup time.
To use Random Identity Generator, you need an API key. You can get one by creating a free account and visiting your dashboard.

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 | {...} |

| Field | Type | Sample Value |
|---|---|---|
count | number | |
| [ ] Array items: | array[1] | |
â”” name | string | |
â”” username | string | |

Headers
Required and optional headers for Random Identity 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 Random Identity Generator through GraphQL to combine it with other API calls in a single request. Query only the random identity 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 {
randomidentitygenerator(
input: {
count: 5
}
) {
count
identities
}
}Note: Authentication is handled via the x-api-key header in your GraphQL request, not as a query parameter.
CORS Support
The Random Identity Generator API supports Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) with wildcard configuration, allowing you to call Random Identity 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 Random Identity Generator directly from JavaScript running in the browser without encountering CORS errors. No proxy server or additional configuration needed.
Rate Limiting
Random Identity Generator API requests are subject to rate limiting based on your subscription plan. These limits ensure fair usage and maintain service quality for all Random Identity 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 |

Rate Limit Headers
When rate limits apply, each Random Identity 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, Random Identity 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 Random Identity Generator:
- Monitor the rate limit headers to track your Random Identity Generator usage (Free plan only)
- Cache random identity generator responses where appropriate to reduce API calls
- Upgrade to Pro or Mega for guaranteed no-throttle Random Identity Generator performance
Note: Random Identity Generator rate limits are separate from credit consumption. You may have credits remaining but still hit rate limits when using Random Identity Generator on Free tier.
Error Codes
The Random Identity 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 Random Identity Generator?
How many credits does Random Identity Generator cost?
Each successful Random Identity 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 random identity generator lookups.
Can I use Random Identity Generator in production?
The free plan is for testing and development only. For production use of Random Identity 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 Random Identity Generator from a browser?
What happens if I exceed my Random Identity Generator credit limit?
When you reach your monthly credit limit, Random Identity 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.
