Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, but you must have a premium subscription. Commercial use of the Lorem Ipsum API is not permitted on the free tier. See our pricing page to choose a plan that fits your needs.
  • Sign up for a free account to instantly get your API key, then pass it in the X-Api-Key header on every request. The documentation above includes ready-to-run examples in cURL, Python, JavaScript, Node.js, and more.
  • Your API requests will simply be denied once you hit your monthly quota — you will never be charged more than the plan you signed up for. To increase your quota, you can upgrade your plan any time on our pricing page.
  • The API responds with a standard HTTP status code and a JSON error message describing the problem. See our error codes reference for the full list of codes and how to resolve each one, or contact support if you need help.
  • Use the paragraphs parameter to set how many paragraphs to generate (defaults to 1), and optionally cap the output with the max_length parameter to limit the total character length. See the full API catalog for other text-generation tools.
  • Yes. The start_with_lorem_ipsum parameter accepts true or false and defaults to true, so the classic 'Lorem ipsum' opening is included unless you turn it off. Volume-based pricing plans let you generate placeholder text at scale.
  • The endpoint returns a single JSON object with one field, text, containing the generated Lorem Ipsum placeholder content; an unsuccessful request returns an error instead, documented on the error codes page.
  • Set the random parameter to false (it defaults to true) to disable randomized paragraph generation. For other mock data to pair with it, try the Random Word API or the Random User API.
