Get a Random and Hopefully Interesting Adage Online – Fortune-Teller (API)

June 26, 2015 No Comments JSON, linux, tools / utilities

The linux is a fun place to work at. It provides interesting commands such as figlet, curl, rig and more.

To get a random and hopefully interesting adage, you can rely this tiny tool fortune and you don’t need to give parameters and it will randomly pick a message for you. If the tool hasn’t been installed, you can use sudo apt-get install fortune (Ubuntu) or sudo yum install fortune (CentOS) to install.

You look like a million dollars.  All green and wrinkled.

If you want to try it online (in your browser), you can visit this online fortune-teller utility, which is made possibly by this PHP and shell_exec(). Better still, you can call its API, which is given at: https://helloacm.com/api/fortune that returns a JSON-encoded adage.

Please note that the 1-second per call rate limit is NOT imposed.
