TinyTools API

A free REST API for generators and utilities. No API key, no signup.

All endpoints use GET, return JSON and allow cross-origin requests, so you can call them from a browser, a script or the command line.

Quick start

Base URL

https://tinytools.cc/api/v1

curl "https://tinytools.cc/api/v1/uuid?count=3&format=text"

OpenAPI document →

Response formats

By default responses are JSON in the form { "data": … }. Add format=text to get plain text with one value per line, handy for shell scripts.

Rate limit

60 requests per minute per client. Every response includes X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset headers. When the limit is exceeded you receive 429 with a Retry-After header.

Privacy and fair use

Requests are counted anonymously per endpoint. Your address is only kept in memory for rate limiting and never stored. Please do not use the API for abusive volumes; if you need more, get in touch.

Errors

Errors use the matching HTTP status and a JSON body:

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

{
  "error": {
    "code": "invalid_parameter",
    "message": "Parameter \"count\" must be at most 100.",
    "status": 400
  }
}
