D&D Generator API Reference

Overview

Perfect for dungeon masters who need quick inspiration, game preparation tools, or procedural content generation for RPG applications.

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.

GEThttps://api.apiverve.com/v1/dndgenerator

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/dndgenerator?type=character&count=1" \
  -H "x-api-key: your_api_key_here"

const res = await fetch('https://api.apiverve.com/v1/dndgenerator?type=character&count=1', {
  headers: { 'x-api-key': 'your_api_key_here' },
});

if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);

const { data } = await res.json();
console.log(data);

import requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/dndgenerator?type=character&count=1",
    headers={"x-api-key": "your_api_key_here"},
    timeout=15,
)
res.raise_for_status()

print(res.json()["data"])

package main

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

func main() {
	req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/dndgenerator?type=character&count=1", 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.

401 is the only auth verdict

A 401 means the key is missing, invalid or expired. A 403 means the key is valid but not permitted here — blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Running out of credits is a 429.

Parameters

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

Parameter	Type	Description
`type`Optional	string	Content type to generate `allcharacternpcmonstertreasureencountertavernquest`+1 default all
`count`Optional	integer	Number of items to generate default 1 · range 1–10

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.

Sample response

{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "type": "character",
    "count": 1,
    "results": {
      "name": "Ashorshadow",
      "race": "Elf",
      "class": "Warlock",
      "level": 6,
      "background": "Criminal",
      "alignment": "Lawful Good",
      "stats": {
        "strength": 10,
        "dexterity": 12,
        "constitution": 7,
        "intelligence": 15,
        "wisdom": 12,
        "charisma": 10
      },
      "hitPoints": 20
    }
  }
}

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.

Field	Type	Example	Description
`type`	string	`"character"`	Type of D&D content that was generated
`count`	number	`1`	Number of items returned in results
`results`	object	`{...}`	Generated D&D content with details and attributes
`name`	string	`"Ashorshadow"`	Name of the generated character or entity
`race`	string	`"Elf"`	Character race for D&D gameplay
`class`	string	`"Warlock"`	Character class defining abilities and skills
`level`Premium	number	`6`	Character experience level in progression
`background`Premium	string	`"Criminal"`	Character background providing narrative context
`alignment`Premium	string	`"Lawful Good"`	Character moral alignment for roleplay
`stats`Premium	object	`{...}`	Core ability scores for character statistics
`strength`Premium	number	`10`	Strength ability score value
`dexterity`Premium	number	`12`	Dexterity ability score value
`constitution`Premium	number	`7`	Constitution ability score value
`intelligence`Premium	number	`15`	Intelligence ability score value
`wisdom`Premium	number	`12`	Wisdom ability score value
`charisma`Premium	number	`10`	Charisma ability score value
`hitPoints`Premium	number	`20`	Character hit points for combat

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.

Status	Meaning	What to do
`400`	Input was rejected	Read `error`; it names the parameter.
`401`	Key missing or invalid	Check the header name and the key value.
`403`	Key valid, but not permitted	A key restriction or IP allow-list; see key scoping.
`429`	Rate limited, or out of credits	Read `error` to tell them apart; see rate limits.

Use cases

Game Preparation: Generate NPCs, encounters, and quests for tabletop RPG sessions
Character Creation: Create random characters with stats, backgrounds, and personalities
World Building: Generate taverns, locations, and story hooks for campaign settings
RPG Applications: Integrate procedural content generation into gaming platforms
