GraphQL AccessALPHA

Access Trivia Generator through GraphQL to combine it with other API calls in a single request. Query only the trivia 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/graphql

query {
  trivia(
    input: {
      category: "general"
    }
  ) {
    question
    answer
    options
    category
  }
}

Note: Authentication is handled via the x-api-key header in your GraphQL request, not as a query parameter.

CORS Support

The Trivia Generator API supports Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) with wildcard configuration, allowing you to call Trivia Generator directly from browser-based applications without proxy servers.

Browser Usage: You can call Trivia Generator directly from JavaScript running in the browser without encountering CORS errors. No proxy server or additional configuration needed.

Rate Limiting

Trivia Generator API requests are subject to rate limiting based on your subscription plan. These limits ensure fair usage and maintain service quality for all Trivia Generator users.

Learn more about rate limiting →

Rate Limit Headers

When rate limits apply, each Trivia Generator response includes headers to help you track your usage:

Handling Rate Limits

Free Plan: When you exceed your rate limit, Trivia 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 Trivia Generator:

• Monitor the rate limit headers to track your Trivia Generator usage (Free plan only)
• Cache trivia generator responses where appropriate to reduce API calls
• Upgrade to Pro or Mega for guaranteed no-throttle Trivia Generator performance

Note: Trivia Generator rate limits are separate from credit consumption. You may have credits remaining but still hit rate limits when using Trivia Generator on Free tier.

Error Codes

The Trivia Generator API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate success or failure:
