Morse Code is a simple tool for encoding and decoding Morse code. It returns the encoded or decoded Morse code.

About the Morse Code API
Morse Code works by analyzing the data provided and encoding or decoding the Morse code. It uses various sources to determine the data and returns the encoded or decoded Morse code.
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
- CSV
- Tabular export
- GraphQL
- Query language
- MCP
- For AI agents
Other ways to use Morse Code
Same data, same APIVerve account, same credit balance — one key works on all of them.

Request parameters — POST /v1/morsecode
Sent as JSON in the request body. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
textRequired | string | hello world | The text to encode or decode in Morse code |
Optional
| Parameter | Type | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
audioOptionalPremium | boolean | Set to true to include an audio file of the Morse code default false |
curl -X POST "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/morsecode" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"text":"This Is A Message","audio":true}'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. |
content-typeRequired | POST body | application/json |
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 — POST /v1/morsecode
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
text | string | "This Is A Message" | Original input text converted to Morse code |
morse | string | "- .... .. ... / .. ... / .- / -- . ... ... .- --. . " | Encoded Morse code representation with spaces and slashes |
stats | object | {...} | Statistics about the Morse code encoding |
characters | number | 17 | Total number of characters in original text |
dits | number | 25 | Total count of dits (dots) in Morse code |
dahs | number | 7 | Total count of dahs (dashes) in Morse code |
valid | boolean | true | Whether the Morse code is valid and properly formatted |
audioPremium | object | {...} | Audio file information including URL and metadata |
audioFilePremium | string | "a11f9d7f-1fd2-4b10-86de-82defaf18c57.wav" | Unique identifier for the generated audio file |
formatPremium | string | ".wav" | Audio file format (e.g., .wav, .mp3) |
downloadURLPremium | string | "https://storage.googleapis.com/apiverve/APIData/morsecode/a11f9d7f-1fd2-4b10-86de-82defaf18c57.wav?GoogleAccessId=635500398038-compute%40de… | Signed URL to download the generated audio file |
durationPremium | string | "13.20s" | Duration of the audio file in seconds |
frequencyPremium | string | "600Hz" | Frequency of the Morse code tone in Hz |
sampleRatePremium | string | "8000Hz" | Sample rate of the audio file in Hz |
expiresPremium | number | 1765925804517 | Unix timestamp when the audio download URL expires |
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 | Morse Code 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 Morse Code 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 — Morse Code 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 for the Morse Code API.
