About the Company Name Generator API

Company Name Generator works by generating company names based on the specified criteria. It uses advanced algorithms to generate company names and returns a list of company names.

What people use it for

Domain Search Suggestions: When customers search for unavailable domains, registrars display alternative business name ideas created from the original search term.
Startup Incorporation Flow: Business registration portals offer instant company name candidates to entrepreneurs setting up new legal entities.
Branding Agency Brainstorming: Brand strategists turn client concept keywords into pitch decks filled with proposed company names.
Fictional Worldbuilding: To populate game worlds quickly, developers generate in-game corporation and shop names directly from lore keywords.

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

Questions.

Common questions about the Company Name Generator API.

Read the docs →

Can I use any keyword to generate company names?

Yes. You can pass any descriptive term, niche phrase, or industry word as your seed keyword. The Company Name Generator uses that input to create an array of brand and business name variations.

Can I specify how many names to generate on the Free plan?

No. The count parameter is a premium feature reserved for paid subscriptions. On the Free plan, requests return a preset default number of names, while Starter and higher plans let you choose the exact count.

How many name generation requests does the Free plan cover?

The Free plan covers 100 requests per month at 2 credits per call. If you need higher volume, the Starter plan provides 200,000 credits to cover up to 100,000 calls each month, which works out to about $0.30 per 1,000 calls.

What data does the response return for each keyword?

Each response returns a JSON object containing your original keyword, the total count of generated names, and an array of generated company name strings.

What happens if I omit the count parameter?

If you omit the count parameter, the generator provides its default batch size of suggestions. On paid plans, you only need to pass count when you want a specific number of names returned.

Request parameters — GET /v1/companynamegenerator

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
`keyword`Required	string	`systems`	The keyword to generate company names from

Optional

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
`count`OptionalPremium	integer	`5`	The number of company names to generate default 5 · range 1-10

Example request

1
2

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/companynamegenerator?keyword=systems&count=5" \
  -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/companynamegenerator

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": {
    "keyword": "systems",
    "count": "5",
    "names": [
      "SystemsVibe",
      "SystemsGrid",
      "SystemsDeck",
      "TrueSystems",
      "SystemsCape"
    ]
  }
}

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
`keyword`	string	`"systems"`	The input keyword used for company name generation
`count`	string	`"5"`	The number of company names generated in the response
`names`	array	`[SystemsVibe, ...]`	Array of generated company names based on the keyword

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	Company Name 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.
