Common questions about the D&D Generator API.

Read the docs →

What types of tabletop content can I generate?

You can generate characters, NPCs, monsters, treasure, encounters, taverns, and quests. Each request takes a content type parameter and returns structured details designed for campaign preparation, random encounters, or procedural RPG tools.

Can I generate multiple items in a single call?

Yes, you can pass a count parameter to receive multiple generated items in one request. The response returns an array of generated results alongside the content type and total count.

What character attributes are returned in the response?

Character entries provide a name, fantasy race, and character class. On paid plans, the response also includes character level, narrative background, moral alignment, hit points, and ability scores for strength, dexterity, constitution, intelligence, wisdom, and charisma.

Are character stats, hit points, and levels included on the Free plan?

No, character levels, backgrounds, moral alignments, hit points, and core ability scores are premium fields. The Free plan returns basic character identification including name, race, and class. Any paid plan unlocks full stats and narrative attributes.

How far does the Starter plan go for generating D&D content?

Starter provides 200,000 credits each month, covering up to 100,000 generations at 2 credits per call. That works out to about $0.30 per 1,000 generations, or roughly $0.0003 per call. You can also test with 100 free generations every month on the Free plan.

Request parameters — GET /v1/dndgenerator

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
`type`Optional	string	`character`	Content type to generate `allcharacternpcmonstertreasureencountertavernquest`+1 default all
`count`Optional	integer	`1`	Number of items to generate default 1 · range 1-10

Example request

1
2

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/dndgenerator?type=character&count=1" \
  -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/dndgenerator

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": {
    "type": "character",
    "count": 1,
    "results": {
      "name": "Ashorshadow",
      "race": "Elf",
      "class": "Warlock",
      "level": 6,
      "background": "Criminal",
      "alignment": "Lawful Good",
      "stats": {
        "strength": 10,
        "dexterity": 12,
        "constitution": 7,
        "intelligence": 15,
        "wisdom": 12,
        "charisma": 10
      },
      "hitPoints": 20
    }
  }
}

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
`type`	string	`"character"`	Type of D&D content that was generated
`count`	number	`1`	Number of items returned in results
`results`	object	`{...}`	Generated D&D content with details and attributes. A single object when count is 1, an array of that many objects when count is above 1. The fields below are the character shape; each other type returns its own fields
`name`	string	`"Ashorshadow"`	Name of the generated character or entity
`race`	string	`"Elf"`	Character race for D&D gameplay
`class`	string	`"Warlock"`	Character class defining abilities and skills
`level`Premium	number	`6`	Character experience level in progression
`background`Premium	string	`"Criminal"`	Character background providing narrative context
`alignment`Premium	string	`"Lawful Good"`	Character moral alignment for roleplay
`stats`Premium	object	`{...}`	Core ability scores for character statistics
`strength`Premium	number	`10`	Strength ability score value
`dexterity`Premium	number	`12`	Dexterity ability score value
`constitution`Premium	number	`7`	Constitution ability score value
`intelligence`Premium	number	`15`	Intelligence ability score value
`wisdom`Premium	number	`12`	Wisdom ability score value
`charisma`Premium	number	`10`	Charisma ability score value
`hitPoints`Premium	number	`20`	Character hit points for combat

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	D&D 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.
