GraphQL AccessALPHA

Access Username Profanity through GraphQL to combine it with other API calls in a single request. Query only the username profanity 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 {
  usernameprofanity(
    input: {
      username: "b00bs"
    }
  ) {
    username
    isProfane
  }
}

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

Rate Limiting

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

Learn more about rate limiting →

Rate Limit Headers

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

Handling Rate Limits

Free Plan: When you exceed your rate limit, Username Profanity 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 Username Profanity:

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

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