About the Article Ideas Generator API

Article Ideas works by using Artificial Intelligence to generate article ideas based on a topic. It returns a list of article ideas that you can use for your blog, website, or other content creation needs.

What people use it for

Content Calendar Planning: When writers start an editorial sprint, content teams generate batches of topical headlines to map out quarterly publishing schedules.
SEO Topic Discovery: Marketers enter focus keywords to discover angles for supporting blog posts that build domain authority around high-intent search terms.
Freelance Pitch Building: Pitch relevant article titles to publication editors by producing targeted story angles for client niches before sending proposals.
Newsletter Subject Brainstorming: To keep weekly email campaigns fresh, newsletter editors convert raw industry topics into clickable article topics and email discussion prompts.

Ways to call it

One endpoint, many ways in — REST with JSON, XML, YAML and CSV, plus GraphQL and an MCP interface for AI agents.

JSON: Default REST response
XML: Markup format
YAML: Human-readable
CSV: Tabular export
GraphQL: Query language
MCP: For AI agents

Common questions about the Article Ideas Generator API.

Read the docs →

Is it cheap enough to generate article ideas for every user prompt?

Yes. Each call costs 20 credits, which works out to about $0.003 per request on the Starter plan or $3.00 per 1,000 calls. Starter includes 10,000 requests per month, while the Free plan provides 10 calls each month for evaluation.

What inputs can I pass to generate article ideas?

You can provide any topic, phrase, or keyword up to 50 characters long. Article Ideas Generator uses AI to evaluate the subject and return relevant article headlines.

What information does each request return?

Each response includes the original topic submitted, a count of generated ideas, and an array containing the suggested article titles and angles.

Is there a limit on how long the topic parameter can be?

Yes. The topic parameter is limited to 50 characters. Submitting a string longer than 50 characters violates the parameter constraint, so input phrases must remain concise.

Does it work for niche or technical subjects?

Yes. As long as your subject fits within the 50-character limit, the AI model can generate relevant article ideas across general, technical, and industry-specific topics.

Request parameters — GET /v1/articleideas

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.

Required

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
`topic`Required	string	`software and technology`	The topic for which you want to generate article ideas (up to 50 characters)

Example request

1
2

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/articleideas?topic=software%20and%20technology" \
  -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/articleideas

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.

Sample response

{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "topic": "software and technology",
    "topicIdeas": 3,
    "topics": [
      "The Future of AI: How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Software and Technology",
      "Cybersecurity in the Modern Age: Protecting Your Data in a Connected World",
      "Cloud Computing Explained: A Beginner's Guide to Understanding the Cloud"
    ]
  }
}

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
`topic`	string	`"software and technology"`	The topic that was used to generate article ideas
`topicIdeas`	number	`3`	The total number of article ideas generated for the topic
`topics`	array	`[The Future of AI: How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Software and Technology, ...]`	Array of generated article idea titles and headlines for the topic

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 — 20 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	Article Ideas Generator calls	Per 1,000 calls
Free	Free	200	10	Free
Starter	$29.99	200,000	10,000	$3.00
Pro	$99.99	1,000,000	50,000	$2.00
Mega	$299.99	4,000,000	200,000	$1.50

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.
