About the Random Identity Generator API
Random Identity works by generating random names, addresses, and other personal information. It returns the generated identity in a structured format.
What people use it for
- Data Generation
- Use the Random Identity Generator API to generate random identities for data generation. Use the data to create test data, populate databases, and develop applications
- Privacy Protection
- Generate random identities by using the Random Identity Generator API for privacy protection. Use the data to mask personal information, safeguard user data, and enhance security
- Content Creation
- Create content by using the Random Identity Generator API to generate random identities. Use the data to develop characters, write stories, and produce media content
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 Random Identity Generator
Same data, same APIVerve account, same credit balance — one key works on all of them.

Request parameters — GET /v1/randomidentitygenerator
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
countOptionalPremium | integer | 5 | The number of identities to create default 1 · range 1-100 |
includeAvatarOptionalPremium | boolean | true | Include an AI-generated face avatar for each identity default false |
curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/randomidentitygenerator?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.
| 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/randomidentitygenerator
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
count | number | 1 | Total number of identities generated in response |
identities | array[1] | Array containing all generated random identity objects | |
name | string | "Dr. Brent Carter" | Full name of the generated random identity |
username | string | "Fannie_Treutel28" | Username associated with generated identity |
email | string | "Greyson.DAmore99@hotmail.com" | Email address for the generated random identity |
phone | string | "862-207-2982 x6455" | Landline phone number of generated identity |
website | string | "mervin.net" | Website URL associated with generated identity |
company | object | {...} | Company information object for generated identity |
namePremium | string | "Runolfsson, Gaylord and Christiansen" | Name of the company associated with identity |
catchPhrasePremium | string | "Profit-focused didactic algorithm" | Marketing catchphrase for company |
bsPremium | string | "brand ubiquitous paradigms" | Business statement or tagline for company |
gender | string | "Male" | Gender of the generated random identity |
birthdatePremium | string | "1978-11-23" | Birth date in YYYY-MM-DD format for identity |
cell | string | "1-514-413-1724" | Mobile cell phone number of generated identity |
avatarPremium | string | "https://storage.googleapis.com/apiverve/APIResources/faces/Male/40-50/87654321.jpg?X-Goog-Signature=..." | URL to an AI-generated face avatar matching the identity's gender and age |
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 | Random Identity 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 Random Identity 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 Identity 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 for the Random Identity Generator API.
