Random User Generator | Home

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/23

Cool tool for when you ever need random users to test a system [Wayback] Random User Generator | Home:

Random user generator is a FREE API for generating placeholder user information. Get profile photos, names, and more. It’s like Lorem Ipsum, for people.

This was used when extracting Parler data to substantiate evidence around the 20210106 USA Capitol riots.

You can even use a simple HTTP GET like [Wayback] randomuser.me/api and get a JSON result like this.

{"results":[{"gender":"female","name":{"title":"Miss","first":"Malou","last":"Mortensen"},"location":{"street":{"number":2669,"name":"Lyngbyvej"},"city":"Sundby","state":"Syddanmark","country":"Denmark","postcode":48047,"coordinates":{"latitude":"-35.1307","longitude":"113.7480"},"timezone":{"offset":"+1:00","description":"Brussels, Copenhagen, Madrid, Paris"}},"email":"malou.mortensen@example.com","login":{"uuid":"981747de-66fe-40b0-87ea-adfe403fe1be","username":"purpleostrich871","password":"sweets","salt":"x86aQbIB","md5":"55497ac53530b428f98b9d36267ceeef","sha1":"358b94ffabe7d827c34da15791e5d6717c594428","sha256":"6e357e887877e29b7e6d53073f648174382c53c24f83479e25fed9c82075ed32"},"dob":{"date":"1995-06-05T04:50:35.145Z","age":26},"registered":{"date":"2018-07-21T00:59:50.523Z","age":3},"phone":"02990797","cell":"94800012","id":{"name":"CPR","value":"050695-9954"},"picture":{"large":"https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/women/27.jpg","medium":"https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/med/women/27.jpg","thumbnail":"https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/thumb/women/27.jpg"},"nat":"DK"}],"info":{"seed":"8971869bb62b73d7","results":1,"page":1,"version":"1.3"}}

JSONPlaceholder – Fake online REST API for developers

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/03/25

A great way for testing REST JSON calls is using the [WayBack] JSONPlaceholder – Fake online REST API for developers:

Fake Online REST API for Testing and Prototyping
Serving ~200M requests per month
Powered by JSON Server [WayBack] + LowDB [WayBack]

It is like [WayBack] Placeholder.com: Placeholder Images Done For You [JPG, GIF & PNG] but for JSON and supports both CORS and JSON-P for cross domain requests.

You can either use that site (which has a predefined set of REST calls) or the basic [WayBack] My JSON Server – Fake online REST server for teams that allows you to respond it to a db.json file from github:

Fake Online REST server for teams

Create a JSON file on GitHub

github.com/user/repo/master/db.json
{
  "posts": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "title": "hello"
    }
  ],
  "profile": {
    "name": "typicode"
  }
}

Get instantly a fake server

my-json-server.typicode.com/user/repo/posts/1
{
  "id": 1,
  "title": "hello"
}

Need to put some research in Google Calendar support for EXRULE and EXDATE

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/01/15

Though the Google Calendar UI does not support EXRULE and EXDATE to exclude certain slots (via dates or rules) from recurring events.

The API supports them: [WayBack] Google Calendar API, RRULE and EXDATE – Stack Overflow
