Random User Generator

Overview

Random User Generator works by generating random user data based on predefined rules and providing it in a structured format. The algorithm ensures that the generated data is realistic and diverse.

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.

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/randomusergenerator?count=1&includeAvatar=true" \
  -H "x-api-key: your_api_key_here"

const res = await fetch('https://api.apiverve.com/v1/randomusergenerator?count=1&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/randomusergenerator?count=1&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/randomusergenerator?count=1&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.

Parameters

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

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.

{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "967e4d46-963e-4108-a0c5-ded8f630dcc8",
      "name": "Jennifer Hoppe V",
      "gender": "Male",
      "username": "Olen_Kihn88",
      "email": "Juwan5@gmail.com",
      "password": "f0VIWRnbXFvW9Tf",
      "registered": "2025-06-29T22:00:36.084Z",
      "phone": "1-716-677-4155",
      "cell": "1-353-721-7455 x2081",
      "birthdate": "1972-01-24T19:55:15.208Z",
      "avatar": "https://storage.googleapis.com/apiverve/APIResources/faces/Male/40-50/87654321.jpg?X-Goog-Signature=..."
    }
  ]
}

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.

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.

Use cases

Testing Environments

Use the Random User Generator API to generate random user data for testing environments. Use the data to create test accounts and simulate user interactions

Mockup Designs

Create mockup designs by using the Random User Generator API to generate random user data. Use the data to populate user profiles and showcase design concepts

Load Testing

Perform load testing by using the Random User Generator API to generate random user data. Use the data to simulate user traffic and analyze system performance

Example Data

Generate example data by using the Random User Generator API to generate random user data. Use the data to provide sample information for tutorials, demos, and presentations

Other ways to use Random User Generator

Set up Random User 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.
