GraphQL AccessALPHA

Access Color Palette Generator through GraphQL to combine it with other API calls in a single request. Query only the color palette generator data you need with precise field selection, and orchestrate complex data fetching workflows.

Test Color Palette Generator in the GraphQL Explorer to confirm availability and experiment with queries.

Credit Cost: Each API called in your GraphQL query consumes its standard credit cost.

CORS Support

The Color Palette 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

Color Palette 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 Color Palette 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 Color Palette Generator

Official Color Palette Generator packages on npm, PyPI, NuGet, and JitPack — plus a Postman collection and an OpenAPI spec. See the SDK guide →

No-Code Integrations

Color Palette Generator works with Zapier, Make, Pipedream, n8n, and Power Automate using the same API key. See setup guides →

What happens if I exceed my Color Palette Generator credit limit?
