About the Password Generator API
Password Generator works by generating passwords based on the specified length and complexity. It returns the generated password in a structured format.
What people use it for
- Security Applications

Request parameters — GET /v1/passwordgenerator
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
countRequired | integer | 10 | The number of passwords to generate default 1 · range 1-100 |
lengthRequired | integer | 12 | The length of the password to generate default 12 · range 4-128 |
complexityRequired | string | strong | The complexity of the password. Only applies when type is randomsimplemediumstrongmaximumdefault medium |
Optional
| Parameter | Type | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
typeOptional | string | random | The kind of password to generate. random uses the complexity preset, pronounceable builds readable syllables, passphrase joins dictionary words, and custom honours the include/exclude switches belowrandompronounceablepassphrasecustomdefault random |
includeNumbersOptional | boolean | true | Include digits. Applies to custom and pronounceable, and to random at simple complexity default false |
includeSymbolsOptional | boolean | true | Include punctuation symbols. Applies to custom, and to random at medium complexity default false |
includeUppercaseOptional | boolean | true | Include uppercase letters. Applies to custom, and to random at simple complexity default false |
includeLowercaseOptional | boolean | true | Include lowercase letters in a custom password. Set false to build from the other character sets only default true |
excludeSimilarOptional | boolean | true | Exclude characters that are easy to confuse when read aloud or typed (i, l, 1, L, o, 0, O) default false |
excludeAmbiguousOptional | boolean | true | Exclude brackets, slashes, quotes and other characters that need escaping in shells and config files default false |
mixedCaseOptional | boolean | true | Randomly capitalise letters in a pronounceable password default false |
strictOptional | boolean | true | Guarantee at least one character from every enabled set rather than leaving it to chance default false |
wordCountOptional | integer | 4 | How many words a passphrase contains. Only applies when type is passphrase default 4 · range 2-12 |
separatorOptional | string | - | The character placed between passphrase words. Only applies when type is passphrase default - |
capitalizeOptional | boolean | true | Capitalise each word of a passphrase. Only applies when type is passphrase default false |
analyzeOptionalPremium | boolean | true | Return a strength analysis alongside each password default 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-keyRequired | Every request | Your API key. Header names are case-insensitive, so X-API-Key is the same header. |
AuthorizationAlternate | Instead of the above | Bearer <key> — for clients that only expose bearer auth. Resolves to the same account and the same billing. |
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/passwordgenerator
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.
| Field | Type | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
passwords | array[10] | Array of generated password objects with details | |
password | string | "aOwqDh0ZK*P;!M|%oiFYJ!IK%TMXQO" | The generated password string |
length | number | 30 | Length of the generated password |
metadata | object | {...} | Metadata about the password generation |
type | string | "random" | Type of password generation method used |
complexityPremium | string | "strong" | Complexity level of the password |
analysisPremium | object | null | Strength analysis for the password. Returned only when analyze is true, and holds score, strength, feedback and entropy |
count | number | 10 | Total count of passwords generated |
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 cycle's allowance |
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 | Password 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.

Zero-code embed — one snippet, no backend
Drop an interactive Password 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 — Password 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.
Entries are picked up from dated catalog snapshots, so the first one appears after the next snapshot that moves something. A period where nothing changed produces no entry — silence is a valid changelog.
