How to Use Evil Insult Generator API in JavaScript

Are you tired of boring and generic insults? Do you want to add a little flavor to your code by incorporating some wickedly amusing insults? Then the Evil Insult Generator API is the solution you've been looking for! This API generates unique, random and hilarious insults to satisfy your every need.

Getting Started

Before we dive into the code, we need to get our API key. Fortunately, it's quite simple. Just go to the Evil Insult Generator API website and click on the button that says "Get your API key".

Once you have the API key, we can proceed to the code part.

API Requests

The API has only one endpoint, which is /generate_insult.php. All requests made to this endpoint should contain the following parameters:

  • lang: The language of the insult. By default, the language is set to English. Other supported languages include Spanish, German, French, and Russian.
  • type: The type of the insult. The options are "default", "pirate", and "shakespeare". The default option generates a random insult, while the other options generate insults inspired by pirate jargon and Shakespearean language, respectively.

Here's an example request using JavaScript:

const url = "https://evilinsult.com/generate_insult.php?lang=en&type=pirate";

fetch(url)
  .then(response => response.text())
  .then(data => console.log(data));

This will send a request to the API endpoint and log a random pirate insult to the console.

Response

The API response is a plain text string containing the generated insult. You can then use this string however you like, whether you want to display it on a website or use it in any number of creative ways.

Adding a bit of humor to your code is always a great idea, and with the Evil Insult Generator API, you can do just that! In this short tutorial, we learned how to use the API in JavaScript and generate customized insults. So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and try it out yourself!
