TheAltening Web API

Basics

Base URL, authentication, and response format

Base URL

https://api.thealtening.com/v2/

Method

All requests use GET with query parameters.

Authentication

Include your API key using the key query parameter. You can find it on the Account page.

Access

API access is available on any paid plan.

Format

Responses are JSON objects or arrays, depending on the endpoint.

Authenticated request

https://api.thealtening.com/v2/generate?key=api-1234-1234-1234

Quick start

Generate a token in a few lines

The most common integration is to collect a user’s API key, call /generate, then pass the returned token into your launcher, bot, or account manager.

API Key

Use the key from the Account page.

Call /generate

Request a fresh token with a GET call.

Parse JSON

Read token, username, skin, and limit.

JavaScript

const response = await fetch(
  'https://api.thealtening.com/v2/generate?key=api-1234-1234-1234&info=true'
)

const alt = await response.json()
console.log(alt.token, alt.username)

Endpoints

Each endpoint uses the same base URL. Premium-only endpoints return 403 Forbidden when the plan is not eligible.

Rate limits

Daily generation limits are plan-based

/generate is capped

The generate endpoint has a daily usage limit based on your plan. This is the "Botting / API Daily Limit" from our pricing page.

Limit loop behavior

When the daily cap is reached, responses loop from that day’s history so you can keep receiving tokens.

Check limit field

The limit Boolean tells you whether the per-day cap has been reached.

Rate Limit

Please make sure to not exceed our rate limit of 1 request per 0.5 seconds (120 requests per minute)
