Evil Insult Generator API

Beginner's Pick Open Source Projects / No Auth Required Beginner HTTPS CORS
Free to Use Varies (check documentation)

Overview

The Evil Insult Generator API returns randomly generated humorous (fictional) insults in multiple languages — no API key required. It is a fun, beginner-friendly API ideal for learning how to make HTTP requests and handle JSON responses. Perfect for joke bots, party apps, or just experimenting with REST APIs for the first time.

Beginner Tip

Add the "lang" query parameter to get insults in different languages (e.g., ?lang=de for German). By default the API returns JSON, but you can also request plain text with ?type=text.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Response is plain text instead of JSON The type parameter defaults to text if not specified
Add &type=json to the query string to receive a proper JSON response object
404 or empty response The endpoint URL path is incorrect (common mistake: using /api instead of /generate_insult.php)
Use the correct endpoint: https://evilinsult.com/generate_insult.php?lang=en&type=json
Unsupported language code error An invalid or unsupported lang value was passed
Supported languages include en, de, es, fr, cs, hu, it, ru; check the API docs for the full list

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
