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.

Available Data

The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.

Use case: Integrate evil insults data into web and mobile applications
Evil Insult Generator data via REST API

Example Response

Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.

JSON Response · Illustrative
{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "result": "Data from Evil Insult Generator",
    "description": "Evil Insults",
    "timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z"
  }
}

Field Reference

insult The generated insult text in the requested language
number A sequential identifier for the insult (not always present in all response modes)
language The language code of the returned insult (e.g., "en", "de")
created Timestamp when this particular insult was generated
shown How many times this insult has been returned by the API

Implementation Example

Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.

Request
const url = "https://evilinsult.com/generate_insult.php?lang=en&type=json";
const response = await fetch(url);
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

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.
