The Fun Linux Utility – RIG – Random Identity Generator – The Online Tool and API

There are lots of fun linux utilitys for example, the Online CURL utility and FIGLET.

The RIG is another one. It is used to generate the random identity. The API address is https://helloacm.com/api/rig

The RIG can be run in the browser and the principle is not difficult at all, check this out: https://helloacm.com/rig/

The example address returned is:

Donnie Mclaughlin
243 Dorwin Rd
Spokane, WA  99210
(509) xxx-xxxx

It allows you to specify male or female identity. And the parameter -c num specifies how many you want at a time. We impose a manual restriction MaxC = 100 so you don’t flush your browser. The API is rate-limited by 1 second per call, which should be ok for most usages (to avoid unnecessary overwhelming calls).

PS: The VPS is so powerful that I don’t want to waste it (just hosting blogs). That is why I ‘ve been thinking of any interesting ideas to make full use of it. If you have good ideas please let me know by commenting it below.

You can install the utility by sudo apt-get install rig (Ubuntu) or sudo yum install rig (CentOS)
