MyFonts: Fonts for Print, Products & Screens

MyFonts API Introduction

The MyFonts API lets you build apps that explore the wealth of fonts. You can browse the entire MyFonts font collection using various criteria, get more information about a font family and each font within it, and render font samples with a custom text.

To start using the MyFonts API:

Register your app or website to get an API Key. You’ll need one.
Review our Branding Guidelines and Terms of Use. We’ll appreciate that your app acts friendly.
Explore our API endpoints. Discover, build, test and deploy!

This reference will help you to boldly, widely, lightly and even obliquely go where no font discoverer has gone before. If you build something awesome, let us know!

MyFonts API Endpoints

Overview

Fonts are created by designers such as Hermann Zapf, and then published by different publishers (also called foundries), for example Bitstream. Fonts are organized into families. A family can have many styles (like Helvetica Neue) or just one (like Bombshell Pro). The design of a family is described by categories such as sans serif. MyFonts sells font licenses for various kinds of usage (on desktop computers, websites, in e-books or apps) at a price. But what matters most is what a font looks like, so we provide customized bitmap font samples. With the MyFonts API Endpoints, you can access all this information — just checks the sidebar links!

Limits

Requests are limited to 500 per hour per API Key. If you make too many requests, you will receive a response with a 429 (Too Many Requests) status code. The limit to is encourage efficient usage of the MyFonts API. Font sample image requests don't count towards limit. If you have a use case that requires more requests, please contact us and we can increase the limit for your API Key.

Caching

Caching of MyFonts API data is encouraged, but you must not cache data for longer than specified in the HTTP response headers.

Grouping Requests

Many options allows you to select multiple items in a single request. For example, if you need the price for 10 fonts, you can request all 10 in a single request instead of making 10 requests. This will only count as a single request against your rate limit and will make your application faster.

Responses

All responses are returned in JSON format.

In the event that an invalid entry is used, the MyFonts API will attempt to use the appropriate error code. In addition, if there is a spelling error or an invalid entry, an error message in JSON format will be displayed with specific information about what the error is.

For example:

{"Error": "'abc' is not a valid input for 'id'. This value must be an integer"}

Strict Mode

By default, the API will have ‘strict mode’ turned on. This means that it will verify that all parameters that are entered are valid. An invalid parameter will return an error message as described above. Turning ‘strict mode’ off will ignore this error and proceed to return the information for valid parameters. Please refer to the Family, Price, or Fontsample endpoints for more information.

Error Codes

Code	Title	Description
200	Ok	Success
400	Bad Request	Invalid endpoint parameter.
403	Forbidden	Invalid API key. Check the api_key option in your request.
404	Not Found	Invalid endpoint. Check the end point exists.
429	Too Many Requests	You've exceeded your rate limit. The count will reset at the start of the hour. If this is a persistent problem, please contact us and tell us why you need a higher limit.
500	Internal Server Error	Unexpected error. Please contact the helpdesk so that we can investigate the problem.
