Random User Generator API

About the Random User Generator API

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.

What people use it for

Local Database Seeding

To seed local staging tables without privacy risks, developers generate fake names, emails, and phone numbers directly into migration scripts.

UI Prototype Demos

Product designers fill mockups with generated names, birthdays, and registration dates to present realistic customer account views during stakeholder walkthroughs.

Form Validation Testing

Verify registration form validation rules before production by feeding unique usernames, emails, and phone records through automated test suites.

Live Sales Demonstrations

When preparing customer-facing sandbox instances, sales engineers generate sample user profiles so client prospects see believable accounts rather than placeholder text.

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.

Request parameters — GET /v1/randomusergenerator

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

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/randomusergenerator?count=1&includeAvatar=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.

Response — GET /v1/randomusergenerator

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.

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.

Errors

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

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.

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.

Zero-code embed — one snippet, no backend

Drop an interactive Random User Generator form onto any page. The widget calls the API for you, so no key ever appears in your markup and there is nothing to deploy.

Changelog — Random User Generator API

Every change to this endpoint, newest first. Breaking changes ship as a new version and the previous one keeps serving — response fields are added, never removed or retyped in place, so an integration written against v1 keeps working.
