Common questions about the Compliment Generator API.

Read the docs →

How far does the Starter plan go for compliments?

The Starter plan covers 200,000 compliments every month. At 1 credit per request, that works out to about $0.15 per 1,000 compliments. If you are evaluating the service, the Free plan gives you 200 compliments each month at no cost.

Will users see the same compliments repeatedly?

Repetition is rare. Compliment Generator combines more than 90 templates with curated word banks to produce millions of distinct combinations, ensuring output stays varied over time.

Can I generate romantic or flirty compliments?

Yes. Passing the adult parameter set to true introduces flirty and romantic compliments into the rotation. When omitted or set to false, the response contains only general, wholesome praise.

Are the standard compliments safe for general audiences?

Yes. The standard output is wholesome and designed for general wellness tools, games, and chatbots. Flirtatious or adult-themed wording is excluded unless you explicitly turn that parameter on.

Does the response require template assembly on my end?

No. Each request returns a single, complete compliment string ready for immediate display. You do not need to fill in blanks or stitch together separate tokens.

Request parameters — GET /v1/compliments

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
`adult`Optional	boolean	`false`	Include flirty/romantic compliments default false

Example request

1
2

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/compliments?adult=false" \
  -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/compliments

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": {
    "compliment": "Your graceful professionalism is an asset to everyone."
  }
}

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
`compliment`	string	`"Your graceful professionalism is an asset to everyone."`	Unique heartfelt compliment text generated dynamically

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 — 1 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	Compliment Generator calls	Per 1,000 calls
Free	Free	200	200	Free
Starter	$29.99	200,000	200,000	$0.15
Pro	$99.99	1,000,000	1,000,000	$0.10
Mega	$299.99	4,000,000	4,000,000	$0.07

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.
