Questions.

Common questions about the Anagram Puzzle Generator API.

Read the docs →

Is it cheap enough to generate a puzzle for every game round?

Each call costs 2 credits, which works out to about $0.0003 per puzzle on the Starter plan, or $0.30 per 1,000 calls. Starter includes enough credits for 100,000 calls each month. The Free plan gives you 100 calls per month to test the integration before upgrading.

Are rendered HTML puzzles and downloadable images available on the Free plan?

No. Printable HTML formatting and downloadable image files are premium features available on paid plans, starting with Starter. Requesting multiple puzzles in a single request using the count parameter also requires a paid plan. The Free plan returns the core puzzle data, including scrambled letters, answers, and alternate anagrams.

Can I supply my own word list or does it generate puzzles automatically?

Both modes are supported. You can pass a specific word to create an anagram puzzle from your own vocabulary, or omit the word parameter to let the generator pick words automatically according to your selected difficulty level.

What puzzle data is returned for each generated word?

Every puzzle entry includes the original target word, the scrambled letters for players to solve, the total letter count, and any alternative valid anagrams that can be formed from that letter set. Responses also confirm the difficulty level and the total puzzle count.

How long can I keep using the puzzle image URL?

Yes. When image generation is enabled on paid plans, the API provides a signed Google Cloud Storage download URL along with a Unix expiration timestamp. If your game or publishing workflow needs to display the image later, your application should download and cache the file before the URL expires.

Request parameters — GET /v1/anagrampuzzle

Sent in the query string. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them. Anything not listed here is dropped rather than passed through.

Optional

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
`word`Optional	string	`listen`	Specific word to create anagram for length 0-60
`count`OptionalPremium	integer	`1`	Number of puzzles default 1 · range 1-20
`difficulty`Optional	string	`medium`	Difficulty level `easymediumhard` default medium
`image`OptionalPremium	boolean	`true`	Set to true to generate a downloadable puzzle image default false

Example request

1
2

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/anagrampuzzle?word=listen&count=5&difficulty=medium&image=true" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — no token exchange, and no per-endpoint scope to configure.

Header	When	Value
`x-api-key`Required	Every request	Your API key. Header names are case-insensitive, so `X-API-Key` is the same header.
`Authorization`Alternate	Instead of the above	`Bearer <key>` — for clients that only expose bearer auth. Resolves to the same account and the same billing.

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.

Response — GET /v1/anagrampuzzle

Every APIVerve endpoint returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape.

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
`puzzles`	array[5]		Array of generated anagram puzzle objects
`original`	string	`"DESPAIR"`	Original word before scrambling
`scrambled`	string	`"PDAISRE"`	Scrambled letters to be rearranged
`anagrams`	array	`[ASPIRED, ...]`	Alternative valid anagram words from same letters
`letterCount`	number	`7`	Total number of letters in puzzle word
`count`	number	`5`	Total number of puzzles generated in response
`difficulty`	string	`"medium"`	Difficulty level of generated puzzles
`html`Premium	string	`"<html><head><title>Anagram Puzzle</title><style>body {font-family: Arial, sans-serif; padding: 20px; max-width: 700px; margin: 0 auto;}h1 {…`	Rendered HTML puzzle output with styling and formatting
`image`Premium	object	`{...}`	Generated puzzle image with download URL
`imageName`Premium	string	`"d52a76c7-fe99-498f-b616-ab376cc920a5_anagram.png"`	Generated image filename with unique identifier
`format`Premium	string	`".png"`	Image file format extension (e.g., .png)
`downloadURL`Premium	string	`"https://storage.googleapis.com/apiverve/APIData/anagrampuzzle/d52a76c7-fe99-498f-b616-ab376cc920a5_anagram.png?GoogleAccessId=635500398038-…`	Signed Google Cloud Storage download URL for image
`expires`Premium	number	`1766009991438`	Unix timestamp when download URL expires

Response headers

Every response carries your balance, so your own code always knows where it stands without polling anything. All four are exposed to browsers through CORS.

Header	What it carries
`x-api-remaining-credits`	Credits left in the current cycle
`x-api-credits-used`	Credits spent in the current cycle
`x-api-max-credits`	The allowance for the cycle
`x-api-version`	Version of the endpoint that answered

Errors

Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change.

Status	Meaning	What to do
`400`	Input was rejected	Read `error`; it names the parameter that has to change.
`401`	Key missing or invalid	Check the header name and the key value.
`403`	Key valid, but not permitted here	A key restriction or an IP allow-list — never a bad key.
`429`	Rate limited, or out of credits	Read `error` to tell them apart, then back off or top up.

What a call costs — 2 credits per call

Credits are shared across every APIVerve API — one balance, one key, one bill. Failed requests never count against it, so a rejected input costs nothing.

Plan	Per month	Credits	Anagram Puzzle Generator calls	Per 1,000 calls
Free	Free	200	100	Free
Starter	$29.99	200,000	100,000	$0.30
Pro	$99.99	1,000,000	500,000	$0.20
Mega	$299.99	4,000,000	2,000,000	$0.15

Calls are what the credits buy at this API's rate — spend them here, on any of the other APIs, or across both. Nothing is reserved per endpoint.
