Random Data Generator API Reference

Overview

Random Generator works by generating random data based on the type specified. It can generate random numbers, strings, dates, and more. The data is generated using advanced algorithms to ensure randomness and unpredictability.

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/randomgenerator

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/randomgenerator?type=number&count=10&includeAvatar=true" \
  -H "x-api-key: your_api_key_here"

const res = await fetch('https://api.apiverve.com/v1/randomgenerator?type=number&count=10&includeAvatar=true', {
  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/randomgenerator?type=number&count=10&includeAvatar=true",
    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/randomgenerator?type=number&count=10&includeAvatar=true", 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`Required	string	The type of random data to generate `numberdicephonedatecoinuuidguidcolor`+4 default number
`count`OptionalPremium	integer	The number of random data to generate (1 to 100) default 1 · range 1–100
`includeAvatar`OptionalPremium	boolean	Include an AI-generated face avatar (only applies when type=name)

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": "phone",
    "count": 10,
    "data": [
      "967-950-4587",
      "792-611-7468 x1293",
      "(933) 311-9829",
      "389.357.7403 x793",
      "1-621-490-6394",
      "1-699-562-6833 x8558",
      "875.226.1530 x641",
      "744-991-0150 x1974",
      "1-393-784-0533 x15199",
      "954-876-6958 x0398"
    ]
  }
}

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	`"phone"`	The kind of random data generated (e.g. phone, name, email)
`count`	number	`10`	Number of random values generated
`data`	array	`[967-950-4587, ...]`	The generated random values; item shape depends on the requested type

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

Testing: Use the Random Generator API to generate random data for testing. Use the data to simulate real-world scenarios, test applications, and validate algorithms
Data Generation: Generate random data by using the Random Generator API for data generation. Use the data to create test datasets, populate databases, and simulate user input
Randomization: Use the Random Generator API to generate random data for randomization. Use the data to shuffle lists, randomize selections, and create unique identifiers
Simulation: Generate random data by using the Random Generator API for simulation. Use the data to model scenarios, simulate outcomes, and analyze results

Other ways to use Random Data Generator

Set up Random Data Generator on APIVerve, or reach the same source a different way. Your APIVerve account and credits work on all of them — one key, one balance.
