Integrate our powerful volume calculation tools into your own applications with our easy-to-use API.
Note: Our API is currently in beta. To request access, please contact us for an API key and further instructions.
All API requests require an API key, which should be included in the request header:
X-API-Key: your_api_key_hereAll API endpoints are relative to the following base URL:
https://api.volumecalculator.comThe API is rate-limited to 100 requests per hour for the basic tier. Contact us for information about higher volume needs.
All API responses are in JSON format and include the following standard fields:
success (boolean): Indicates if the request was successfulvolume (number): The calculated volume (present only on success)unit (string): The unit of the volume measurement (e.g., "cm³")formula (string): The formula used for calculationcalculation (string): A human-readable representation of the calculationerror (string): Error message (present only on failure)| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| side | number | Length of one side of the cube |
| unit | string | Unit of measurement (e.g., 'cm', 'm', 'in') |
{
"success": true,
"volume": 125,
"unit": "cm³",
"formula": "V = a³",
"calculation": "V = 5³ = 125 cm³"
}| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| radius | number | Radius of the sphere |
| unit | string | Unit of measurement (e.g., 'cm', 'm', 'in') |
{
"success": true,
"volume": 113.0973,
"unit": "cm³",
"formula": "V = (4/3) × π × r³",
"calculation": "V = (4/3) × 3.14159 × 3³ ≈ 113.0973 cm³"
}| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| radius | number | Radius of the base of the cylinder |
| height | number | Height of the cylinder |
| unit | string | Unit of measurement (e.g., 'cm', 'm', 'in') |
{
"success": true,
"volume": 62.8318,
"unit": "cm³",
"formula": "V = π × r² × h",
"calculation": "V = 3.14159 × 2² × 5 ≈ 62.8318 cm³"
}The API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In addition to the HTTP status, the response body will contain more detailed information.
| Status Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 400 Bad Request | The request was invalid or is missing required parameters |
| 401 Unauthorized | Invalid or missing API key |
| 429 Too Many Requests | You've exceeded the rate limit |
| 500 Server Error | Something went wrong on our end |
{
"success": false,
"error": "Error message describing what went wrong",
"code": "ERROR_CODE"
